There is a new file in the tools directory that can be *extremely* useful to anyone trying to learn about the DMTF CIM model.          flatClassesHTML_CIM2.9_20050330.zip         (and associated flatClassesHTML_README.txt) This zip archive contains easily read and heavily hyperlinked versions of the CIM V2.9 specs.  If you have 50MB of disk space available, and who doesn't these days, then you need this reference document.  These HTML files are translated from the official XML version of the CIM specs, available on <A HREF="file://www.dmtf.org">www.dmtf.org</A>.  Be sure to extract these files into a new subdirectory somewhere: there are 2,500 files.  The root of the HTML tree is CIM29Index.html.  The formatting works best using Internet Explorer and recent versions of Firefox.  Many thanks to Bob Blair of Newisys, Inc., for creating and maintaining these documents, and for allowing PWG to use them.  rick ------------------------- Richard_Landau@dell.com, System Mgt Arch & Stds +1-512-728-9023, One Dell Way, RR5-3 Box 8352, Round Rock, TX 78682 </BODY> </HTML>
