IBISCHK development:
Bob Ross reported the development contract was now fully signed.
Due to a "TBD" it went through another SAE ITC legal review.
We were instructed to resolve any adjustments through email.
The scope of a BIRD211 repeater change raised some confusion in an IBIS ATM meeting.
The developer was asked to work on that last.
The due date was September 17.


TSCHK201 development:
Mike LaBonte showed updated documentation for the tschk2 2.0.1 he had been developing.
A Release Notes section had been added, describing the bugs fixes as well as other new changes.
Mike had updated the regression tests.
There were new tests for the fixed bugs.
Previously the regression tests would only run "tschk2 -describe".
Mike added a new feature where test suite names could supply the command options to be run, allowing the -canonical and new options to be tested.
Lance Wang said the test suite looked very useful.

Mike demonstrated various new options.
The calculated precision values were now printed in the out file, as well as the tschk2 version generating the output.
Bob Ross suggested adding documentation to show what the tschk2 options would do.
Mike said he could do that as a "Running tschk2 section" in the source documentation.
But he would prefer to add it to the tschk2 web page, so people other than source code purchasers could see it.

Mike said he had not yet tried compiling for Macintosh.
We decided not to compile for SunOS.

AR: Mike LaBonte to add "Running tschk2" documentation to tschk2 2.0.1 source package
AR: Mike LaBonte to post tschk2 in staging area for distribution
