  Hi, guys.  Where were you at?  I went up to Dr. Levine's door and
found no one there and the door closed.  I went back to the Sun lab to
check my mail and see if he had said anything.  He had sent a message
saying he would be there but would have to leave quickly.  I went back
up and knocked on his door to discover he was inside.  I discussed our
class diagram with him as detailed in my previous message.

  If we would like to compile a list of things to discuss with Dr.
Levine, I'm sure we could arrange to go see him again later in the
week.  In addition, if anyone wants to go see Dr. Levine on your own
to discuss anything, I won't be offended.

  I had intended to have a list of methods to be implemented by each
group for increments 2 and 3, and deliver that list to you tonight.
However, this evening has been a disaster.  I discovered my radiator
was leaking, fell on concrete while jogging, had my glasses fall apart
in such a way that I thought it would take a machine to put them back
together (it took an hour, and the help of two family members; I'm
basically blind without them).  Well, I know no one wants to hear my
whining, but I thought it was pretty interesting that this many things
could go wrong in a day. :)

  For now, the division between increments 2 and 3 is that increment
two will implement the read and write methods of the archive class
(read is a constructor), along with any accessor methods or other
private methods needed to build an archive object, along with the
revision tree class and revision number class, including only the
methods needed to construct these objects for purposes of constructing
an archive.  Increment 3 will contain everything else necessary for
checkin/checkout (with no branching).

  I'm looking into some software for doing our class diagram, but
getting it to work is slow going.  I'll be happy if we just keep it in
Word, as long as we can show the relationships between classes.
