  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).

 24 mike  1.7     -	 Package up pegasus in Install Shield application.

 27 mike  1.1     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 28           

 29 mike  1.8     (A)	Modify clear() methods on Array and String so that they don't
 30           	release the old resource (more efficient for GetLine()). Add
 31           	a resize() method.
 32           
 33               (A)	Handle escaping of strings inside object names. Example:
 34           
 35               		X.key1="Hello \"You\""
 36           

 37 mike  1.4     (A) Change make system to rename dll's before link so that they
 38           	can be used by the server.
 39           

 40 mike  1.3     (A) Hide setPropagated() and setClassOrigin() methods (only the resolve
 41                   method should touch these).
 42           

 43 mike  1.2     (A) Notice that there is a bug where you select Scope::REFERENCE and
 44           	and the validation routines still say the scope is wrong for
 45           	qualifiers applied actual references (they are checking for
 46           	property instead).
 47           
 48               (A) There is an odering problem when applying the qualifiers with
 49               	association scope to classes. If the association qualifier does not
 50           	come first, then application of prior qualifiers fail.
 51           	Checking this should be moved to class resolution.
 52           

 53 mike  1.1     (A) Implement instances.
 54           
 55               (A) Providers.
 56

 60           
 61               (B) Use the description that comes back with an error code in the XML
 62               	protocol. Perhaps it should become an extra message field of
 63           	XmlException.
 64           
 65               (B) Source documentation.
 66           
 67               (B) Put README in each directory.
 68           
 69               (B) Handle UCS2 characters in XML (parsing and writing).
 70           
 71               (B) Check for overflow on the number of attributes in XML.
 72           
 73               (B) Handle PARAMETER.REFARRAY in XML.
 74 mike  1.1 
 75               (B) Add validNamespace() method and use it.
 76           
 77               ------------------------------------------------------------------------
 78           
 79               (C) Suppress error message printed by ACE caused by constructing an 
 80                   address from a non existent host.
 81           
 82               (C) Ignore extraneous XML elements (loosely valid).

 84               (C) Get rid of fullyQualified flag.
 85           
 86               (C) Handling of hexadecimal integer values.
 87           
 88               (C) VALUE.REFERENCE within INSTANCENAME and KEYBINDING.
 89           
 90               (C) Resolve whether MOF is a requirement.
 91           
 92               (C) Handle case sensitivity of CIM identifiers.
 93           
 94               (C) Figure out how to handle CIM null values.
 95 mike  1.1 
 96               (C) Make iteration scheme more general.
 97           
 98               (C) Develop XML repository importation mechanism.
 99           
100               (C) Move internal headers to ./internal directory
101           
102               (C) Split up XxxRep objects from Xxx objects.
103           
104               (C) Handle case insentive requirement on repository file names.
105           
106               (C) Devise a way to detect whether a class has instances.
107           
108               (C) Cleanup of execeptions.

110               (C) Verify that fixed length arrays are properly handled.
111           
112               (C) Check for null string pointers in String class.
113           
114               (C) Verify that instances are property keyed (during validation).
115           
116 mike  1.1     (C) Thread safety.
117           
118               (C) Use UTF8 for strings.
119           
120               (C) Shrink object sizes.
121           
122               (C) Use lighter I/O system (get rid of C++ streams).

127           
128               (C) Improve the representation of fixed arrays (is that pesky fixed-array
129                 	flag really necessary?)
