IBISCHK710 development:
Bob Ross said he was still working on verifying the QA tests.  Mike LaBonte said the EMD
file access bugs were significant, and he wondered if any QA tests would fail.  Bob said
there was a bug where two spaces separated ".subckt" from the name in IBIS-ISS.  It was
not certain when we would receive final code.  Mike had been waiting for that, but he said
he would begin testing with what we had.  Bob said much of the work was in building QA
tests.

Randy Wolff asked if the latest cleaned up EMD testcase had been sent to the developer.
Mike said he had not sent it.  Bob was concerned about the size of testcase.  Mike said it
was clear that there were only 3 errors to investigate.  Bob said the Micron EMD testcase
should not be included in the QA test suite.  Mike said he would send the cleaned up
testcase to the Developer, clarifying that it should not be included in the source
distribution.

  - BIRD181.2
