IBISCHK700 parser development:
Bob Ross said we had a new release of the software from from the developer.  Bob will
perform his checks, focusing on directory path related checks.  The developer had written
that some cleanup was needed related to using backward slashes when invoking the program.
Mike LaBonte noted that that was a new feature, the ability to invoke IBISCHK with a
path, not just a file name.  Bob said there was another reason to prohibit backslash,
the need to sometimes use it as an escape character.  He was involved in very carefully
checking nested file references using relative paths.  Mike said he found no problems
in his testing on Linux and Windows, and that a bug he had reported was fixed.


IBISCHK7 source code license:
Bob Ross said we had 6 agreements signed, 4 had paid.  He said the source code
package would be sent out as soon as we approve it, to those who have signed and paid.
Mike LaBonte asked about the status of Intel's question about usage rights for the
executables.  Bob suggested adding a simple declaration to the IBISCHK download page.


New IBISCHK bugs:
Bob Ross suggested taking no immediate action on BUG207. It would be discussed in the
next Open Forum meeting. Bob reviewed the technology and usage of [Submodel].


IBIS-ISS parser:
Discussion was tabled.


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