  7               Now:
  8           
  9               -    Get ACE working on Tandem (or remove ACE from Pegasus).
 10               -    Port Pegasus to Tandem (look for Tandem machine at BMC).
 11               -    Instance repository.
 12               -    Finalize provider interface.
 13               -    Associations (basic).
 14               -    Provider registration (by the standard).
 15               -    MOF compiler (finalize).
 16               -    Write short paper on Pegasus data objects.
 17               -    Integrate DOC++ with make system.
 18               -    Implement the process provider.
 19               -    Compaq requested SQL level-1 description.
 20               -    Get rid of ACE (required if no ACE on Tandem).
 21               -    Need query capability for Compaq.
 22               -    Threading (and process forking).
 23               -    Implement protocol module (the default uses ACE).

 26 mike  1.1     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 27           

 28 mike  1.4     (A) Change make system to rename dll's before link so that they
 29           	can be used by the server.
 30           

 31 mike  1.3     (A) Hide setPropagated() and setClassOrigin() methods (only the resolve
 32                   method should touch these).
 33           

 34 mike  1.2     (A) Notice that there is a bug where you select Scope::REFERENCE and
 35           	and the validation routines still say the scope is wrong for
 36           	qualifiers applied actual references (they are checking for
 37           	property instead).
 38           
 39               (A) There is an odering problem when applying the qualifiers with
 40               	association scope to classes. If the association qualifier does not
 41           	come first, then application of prior qualifiers fail.
 42           	Checking this should be moved to class resolution.
 43           

 44 mike  1.1     (A) Implement instances.
 45           
 46               (A) Providers.
 47           
 48               ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 49           
 50               (B) Finish other CIM/HTTP protocol operations.
 51           
 52               (B) Use the description that comes back with an error code in the XML
 53               	protocol. Perhaps it should become an extra message field of
 54           	XmlException.
 55           
 56               (B) Source documentation.
 57           
 58               (B) Put README in each directory.
 59           
 60               (B) Handle UCS2 characters in XML (parsing and writing).
 61           
 62               (B) Check for overflow on the number of attributes in XML.
 63           
 64               (B) Handle PARAMETER.REFARRAY in XML.
 65 mike  1.1 
 66               (B) Add validNamespace() method and use it.
 67           
 68               ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 69           
 70               (C) Suppress error message printed by ACE caused by constructing an 
 71                   address from a non existent host.
 72           
 73               (C) Ignore extraneous XML elements (loosely valid).
 74           
 75               (C) Get rid of fullyQualified flag.
 76           
 77               (C) Handling of hexadecimal integer values.
 78           
 79               (C) VALUE.REFERENCE within INSTANCENAME and KEYBINDING.
 80           
 81               (C) Resolve whether MOF is a requirement.
 82           
 83               (C) Handle case sensitivity of CIM identifiers.
 84           
 85               (C) Figure out how to handle CIM null values.
 86 mike  1.1 
 87               (C) Make iteration scheme more general.
 88           
 89               (C) Develop XML repository importation mechanism.
 90           
 91               (C) Move internal headers to ./internal directory
 92           
 93               (C) Split up XxxRep objects from Xxx objects.
 94           
 95               (C) Handle case insentive requirement on repository file names.
 96           
 97               (C) Devise a way to detect whether a class has instances.
 98           
 99               (C) Cleanup of execeptions.
100           
101               (C) Verify that fixed length arrays are properly handled.
102           
103               (C) Check for null string pointers in String class.
104           
105               (C) Verify that instances are property keyed (during validation).
106           
107 mike  1.1     (C) Thread safety.
108           
109               (C) Use UTF8 for strings.
110           
111               (C) Shrink object sizes.
112           
113               (C) Use lighter I/O system (get rid of C++ streams).
114           
115               (C) Provide conversion between DateTime and time_t.
116           
117               (C) Purify source.
118           
119               (C) Improve the representation of fixed arrays (is that pesky fixed-array
120                 	flag really necessary?)
