Index of Subjects This suggestion dates back some three years and is based on correspondence that David Trueman and I had about the IPDB. Here is the salient communication: On Sat, 7 Dec 1996, David Trueman wrote: > These are good ideas and should be implemented.

These would be useful tools in terms of having at least a minimal level of background monitoring of our IPs. Having gone through the entire IP Database I can attest to (even with our current number of IP's) how much work this is. As we grow there will be no realistic way to monitor 'dead' applications and 'orphaned' IPs otherwise. We need to be able to be: a) relatively confident of the information we have in the IPDB; and b) build on the functionality that is there. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I'm would be great to add such tools which would allow the IP Committee to better monitor and administer our IPs. I hope that we can implement the above ideas. Comments? Cheers! Chris _._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.
