ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BENNI_LANGUAGE
            This variable is used to determine the used language of
	    interaction with benni. Possible values are: GERMAN, 
	    ENGLISH, C, C++, PERL, PYTHON, JAVA. Quality of output 
	    differs.

WARNINGS

You should use the different -gX options at least once per week.
This is not necessary for -gc.

You should prefer GERMAN interaction instead of ENGLISH every time it is
possible. This document is generated with BENNI_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH
(possible the huge ammount of errors in it comes from this setting). 

KNOWN BUGS

The -w ammount option is not working properly. But it seems 
you can minimize the number of failures if you maximize the given 
ammount.
