-If you haven't set up your workunit and result template files correctly,
-or if there's a problem with your application version file setup,
-this can be debugged by running the client with the `--exit_before_start`
-or `--exit_after_finish` command-line options.
+If your app complains that it can't find its input files,
+or the BOINC complains that it can't find the output files,
+there's most likely a problem with your [JobSubmission input/output template files].
+If your app can't find the libraries it expects,
+there's most likely a problem with your [UpdateVersions application file setup].
+
+These problems can be debugged by running the client with these command-line options:
+
+ '''--exit_before_start''':: The client will exit just before running an app.
+  At that point, look at the slot directory and make sure everything is correct.
+  Try running the app manually in the slot directory.
+
+ '''--exit_after_finish''':: The client will exit just after an app finishes.
+  At that point, look at the slot directory and project directories,
+  and verify that the output files are there.
