Comments
EVALUATION Need more detail. david.biagini@Eng 2000-01-20 See extended description. robert.griesemer@Eng 2000-02-23 Note: The "Browsable VM" feature is first and foremost a performance debugging tool. However, it seems like a very promising tool for all kinds of VM inspection, including remote VM debugging, etc. robert.griesemer@Eng 2000-02-24 Name: db100478 Date: 09/08/2000 Committing to merlin release ====================================================================== This is an umbrella feature that was created for the Merlin spec. We've decided to stop tracking the umbrella and instead track the relevant component features. graham.hamilton@Eng 2000-09-15 Reliability and Availability Improvements have been integrated into merlin. For some of the outstanding feature components separate bugs or RFEs are filled and identified in the description field. jerry.driscoll@eng 2001-02-21
