Review of previous meeting minutes:
Minutes from the June 1, 2021 meetings were reviewed.  Randy Wolff moved to accept
the minutes. Lance Wang seconded.  Without objection the minutes were approved.


ARs:
- Mike LaBonte to add "Running tschk2" documentation to tschk2 2.0.1 source package
  - Done, but added to tschk201 web page, not source package
- Mike LaBonte to post tschk2 in staging area for distribution
  - Done


NEW ITEMS:

New parser bug reports:
Bob Ross reported no new bugs.


IBISCHK development:
Bob Ross reported there was no update from the developer.  Mike LaBonte wondered when
when work would begin.  Bob said we gave a due date but left it otherwise flexible.


TSCHK201 development:
Mike LaBonte showed the new tschk201 web page from the staging area.  He had added
a link to a new page showing examples of various tschk201 output format options.
Mike felt the tschk2 -describe example was hard to read and could have larger type.
Randy Wolff felt that was a useful output option, easy to read and find things such
as the number of frequencies.

Mike said we had executables for dos32, Debian64, and mac Intel.  He had been unable to
compile for Mac with Apple Silicon, but could try again later.  He was not sure if the
program would run on the new Macs anyway.  Randy said he could test on RedHat Linux.
Bob Ross said he could test on Windows.  Bob suggested we might ask David Banas to
try it on Mac.

Randy noted that the source code price was wrong on the web page, it should be $1,000.
Mike said it was then also wrong on the current tschk2 web page, which he had copied.
Lance Wang said he could test on Mac.

Lance asked where the regression test files were to be found.  Bob said they were in
the source package.

AR: Mike LaBonte to fix tschk2 source code price on web pages

Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
  - BIRD181.2
  - IBISCHK security fixes


Bob Ross moved to adjourn. Randy Wolff seconded. Without objection the meeting ended.

Meeting ended: 12:42 ET
