Assignment P1 Project Action Report # 3

Red Flags

Red flags are statements of concern, things that need to be taken care of if the project is to succeed. Most red flags are threats of various kinds. It is important both to state the flag and to declare an action to take care of it.

(1)  The parser does not recognize optionflags with a "-" in front.  It recognizes anything.  
            The plan to fix the red flag is to take some more time to develop an argument recognition and have some way to handle that.  
            (possibly in state 5 our empty state).

 

Closed Red Flags

When a red flag is resolved, move it into this section at the next report, and drop it from this section at the report after that.

(1) We are having trouble configuring java in Win 98 but have it working on Windows 2000.
            The problem is fixed.  It was the path that was causing the problem.
(2) Having difficulty with floppy disk drive on lap top.
            We reformatted a floppy disk and the drive began to work again.  No explanation, it just did.

 

Open Promises

Each promise consists of a person responsible, the condition of satisfaction, and the due date. The table provides  extra columns to state the actual completion date and when it was due.
