   The group accepted the suggested changes from Atul, especially regarding

   Weston thought he had sent the file, but does not see it in his sent folder. 
   Randy does not have the file. Weston will send the presentation file to the 
   attendees of this meeting.
   
 - new bug report from Michael Mirmak
   The problem is that IBISCHK7 does not correctly separate the path name from 
   the file name when checking the value of [File Name] within the file. The 
   IBIS specification states specifically that path names must use forward slash 
   ("/") and not backslash ("\") and that the EDA tool must work with the 
   specific OS path format as appropriate. IBISCHK7 is the EDA tool in this 
   scenario, so it needs to be fixed. [AR] Bob will file the new bug report to 
   be fixed in the next version of IBISCHK.


Tabled topics (no discussion without motion):
 - none


Randy moved to adjourn. Lance seconded. Without objection, the meeting ended.
