had been the case for quite a few years, but some time ago there had been bidding.  Weston

Wolff said BUG227 was not yet classified, but it would not be in the next development.  He
felt development could be started any time.

Wolff suggested looking at what we had in the existing checklist, starting next week.

files specific to an IBIS file.  Randy said Micron had made some changes to the checklist.
Weston said the state of the checklist drop-down cells was not saved, and they had to save
PDF files to retain the settings.
