14 karl  1.1 The major components of Pegasus are:
15           
16           Pegasus Server - WBEM/CIM CIM_Server with interfaces for providers and Clients
17           
18           Pegasus Repository - Today Pegasus provides a defined class repository interface and a simple
19           file based class repository. Future will include the object repository
20           
21           Pegasus Client SDK - Tools for building Pegasus clients based on the Pegasus C++ interfaces
22           and using the WBEM HTTP/XML protocols or directly interfacing with Pegasus
23           
24           Pegasus Test Clients - Simple test clients being developed as part of the Pegasus development
25           process
26           
27           Pegasus HTML Test Client - To aid some testing we created a test client for Pegasus that uses
28           a WEB server (ex. Apache) with a set of CGI modules and HTML to allow the entry of Pegasus
29           operations from a WEB browser as forms and the recept of the response as WEB pages. This has
30           proven useful as a test tool and can be used for a wide variety of demonstrations.
31           
32           Pegasus Providers - Future (Version 1.0)
33           
34           Pegasus Service Extensions -  Future (version 1.0)
35 karl  1.1 
36           Pegasus MOF Compiler - Future (Version 0.9)
37           
38           
39           ATTN: Define the files that make up these components and their structure.

42 karl  1.2 @name Pegasus Directory Structure

43 karl  1.1 
44           
45           Pegasus is distributed as a complete directory structure that should be installed either
46           from one of the snapshots or from CVS.
47           
48           This structure is generally as follows:
49           
50           <PRE>
51           Pegasus                         - Root directory
