  4 mike  1.11     -   Add CIMOM handle to provider interface.
  5            

  6 mike  1.3      -	Fix case sensitivity problems in repository (just add an _Open method
  7            	that ignores the case of the file).

  8 mike  1.1  

  9 mike  1.5      -	Add newly implemented repository operations to protocol and to
 10            	dispatcher.
 11

 16            

 17 mike  1.8      -   Need CIMInstance::removeMethod() and CIMInstance::removeProperty().
