This file contains all currently active problems with RATIONAL ACCESS.

Problems are classified in four classes:
 1: BUGS - acknowledged bugs that have been deferred, but will be fixed
 2: CONSIDER - enhancement requests, style/usability suggestions that may be
     implemented in a further release
 3: INVESTIGATE - bug reports that are not easily reproduceable or enhancement
     request that will be considered after implementation difficulty is known

When applicable, a mail message reporting the problem is referenced by
sender, and date/time. This can be used to find more information about
the problem. ALL mail messages sent to RA_COMMENTS are saved in the
file: "!!sunol!delta.access.problems" If a developer has been assigned
to a problem, his or her name is also included.
