Working On Milestone:

   of work required to complete this phase.

Issues:

-  Outstanding Macintosh problems, Scopus duplicated problem against our
   database.  Waiting for a reply.  Sent mail on August 7, received reply
   that engineering is aware of problems, no new information.  Issues
   numbers are: 11337 (characters disappear in child entry fields),
   11338 (sorting column headings of result sets), 11339 (printing issue).

-  InformTEAM (for generation of automated business rules) needs problem
   resolution.  Mail sent to Scopus, need follow up.

Notes:

-  Testing of 1.0b4 slowed down partly due to competing with "start of
   school" tasks.

-  Decided to move from Solaris 2.4 to 2.5 due to issues with RAID
   configuration.
