				TO-DO List
				==========


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now:

    -    Get ACE working on Tandem (or remove ACE from Pegasus).
    -    Port Pegasus to Tandem (look for Tandem machine at BMC).
    -    Instance repository.
    -    Finalize provider interface.
    -    Associations (basic).
    -    Provider registration (by the standard).
    -    MOF compiler (finalize).
    -    Write short paper on Pegasus data objects.
    -    Integrate DOC++ with make system.
    -    Implement the process provider.
    -    Compaq requested SQL level-1 description.
    -    Get rid of ACE (required if no ACE on Tandem).
    -    Need query capability for Compaq.
    -    Threading (and process forking).
    -    Implement protocol module (the default uses ACE).
    -	 Package up pegasus in Install Shield application.


    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (A)	Modify clear() methods on Array and String so that they don't
	release the old resource (more efficient for GetLine()). Add
	a resize() method.

    (A)	Handle escaping of strings inside object names. Example:

    		X.key1="Hello \"You\""

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

    (A) Hide setPropagated() and setClassOrigin() methods (only the resolve
        method should touch these).

    (A) Notice that there is a bug where you select Scope::REFERENCE and
	and the validation routines still say the scope is wrong for
	qualifiers applied actual references (they are checking for
	property instead).

    (A) There is an odering problem when applying the qualifiers with
    	association scope to classes. If the association qualifier does not
	come first, then application of prior qualifiers fail.
	Checking this should be moved to class resolution.

    (A) Implement instances.

    (A) Providers.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (B) Finish other CIM/HTTP protocol operations.

    (B) Use the description that comes back with an error code in the XML
    	protocol. Perhaps it should become an extra message field of
	XmlException.

    (B) Source documentation.

    (B) Put README in each directory.

    (B) Handle UCS2 characters in XML (parsing and writing).

    (B) Check for overflow on the number of attributes in XML.

    (B) Handle PARAMETER.REFARRAY in XML.

    (B) Add validNamespace() method and use it.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (C) Suppress error message printed by ACE caused by constructing an 
        address from a non existent host.

    (C) Ignore extraneous XML elements (loosely valid).

    (C) Get rid of fullyQualified flag.

    (C) Handling of hexadecimal integer values.

    (C) VALUE.REFERENCE within INSTANCENAME and KEYBINDING.

    (C) Resolve whether MOF is a requirement.

    (C) Handle case sensitivity of CIM identifiers.

    (C) Figure out how to handle CIM null values.

    (C) Make iteration scheme more general.

    (C) Develop XML repository importation mechanism.

    (C) Move internal headers to ./internal directory

    (C) Split up XxxRep objects from Xxx objects.

    (C) Handle case insentive requirement on repository file names.

    (C) Devise a way to detect whether a class has instances.

    (C) Cleanup of execeptions.

    (C) Verify that fixed length arrays are properly handled.

    (C) Check for null string pointers in String class.

    (C) Verify that instances are property keyed (during validation).

    (C) Thread safety.

    (C) Use UTF8 for strings.

    (C) Shrink object sizes.

    (C) Use lighter I/O system (get rid of C++ streams).

    (C) Provide conversion between DateTime and time_t.

    (C) Purify source.

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