  5            

  6 mike  1.3      -	Fix case sensitivity problems in repository (just add an _Open method

  8 mike  1.1  

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

 16            

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

 95 mike  1.1  

 96 mike  1.5      -	The TCPChannel::writeN() method blocks when the client and server
