Review of previous meeting minutes:

Minutes from the December 18 meeting were not sent.

ARs:

- Lance Wang to write BUG for C_comp_pullup on Input* Model_type warning.
  - No report.

- Mike LaBonte to compile IBISCHK615 for Red Hat Linux and Mac, and run tests.
  - Done

New IBISCHK bugs:
Bob Ross said Lance Wang had reported a bug running IBISCHK6 on Windows XP.  Mike LaBonte
explained that the GetErrorMode and SetErrorMode functions require at least Windows
Vista. Calls to those functions were added in IBISCHK 6.1.3, to prevent "Critical Error"
dialogs from popping up when IBISCHK tries to load a .dll and fails. The functions
are called on startup.  We could produce an additional executable for Windows XP,
but Mike preferred not to support obsolete operating systems.  Bob said we might find
a way to help.


IBISCHK615 parser development:
Bob Ross said we do not yet have confirmation of SAE payment for the work.  Mike LaBonte
showed the IBISCHK 6.1.5 User Guide and it was reviewed.  More work was needed to
format the appendix containing IBISCHK messages.


IBISCHK700 parser development:
- No discussion.


Mike LaBonte moved to adjourn. Bob Ross seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.

Meeting ended: 11:37 ET

Next meeting January 15, 2019
