Cool Lee, thanks much. I know what I need to now, I'll poke you, lisa, and
bob for state as time marches on towards SC.

Thanks,

> Deliverables due in 3 months:
> 
> --Written documentation (in *simple* form) describing the 
> Globus Toolkit Win32 development environment that enables 
> developers to reproduce the environment on a new system, 
> including all software tools, configuration settings, and 
> build-specific data.  This development environment must 
> utilize Globus Toolkit source code from existing CVS 
> repositories as the starting point for software builds.
> 
> --Modified GSI code in the Globus Toolkit CVS archives that 
> includes support for Win32 as well as currently-supported 
> platforms. (Note that GSI includes both libraries and utility 
> tools such as grid-proxy-init.)
> 
> --A new Globus Toolkit distribution (with minimal packaging) 
> for Win32 that includes at a minimum the Globus "Common" 
> libraries, GSI libraries and tools, Globus I/O libraries, and 
> GRAM client libraries.  (Note that Globus "Common", Globus 
> I/O, and GRAM client libraries have already been ported and 
> tested in previous work.)
> 
> Deliverables due in 6 months:
> 
> --An updated version of the first deliverable ("written 
> documentation") listed above, reflecting any changes to the 
> development environment that have been made. (If no changes 
> have been made, the first copy of the documentation may be 
> resubmitted.)
> 
> --Training for 2+ DSL staff members (DSL has the 
> responsibility to identify these individuals) in building, 
> testing, and packaging the Globus Toolkit for distribution on 
> the Win32 platform
> 
> --(optional) Training for all DSL software developers on how 
> to write code on Unix that is easily portable to Windows.  
> (This is not required, but may be useful to the contractor in 
> minimizing new work due to other concurrent development efforts.)
> 
> --Modified Globus Toolkit build procedure on Win32 that 
> produces Win32 DLLs (Dynamically-linked libraries) (*)

> --Modified Globus XIO code in the Globus Toolkit CVS archives
