resolved issues:
----------------

[26-jan-00] - initial curve fitting (linear and polynomial regression; custom);

[02-mar-99] - add sum bottom line to `Browse' tables [mueller/13];

[02-mar-99] - add attributes to `Detail - Intersection'; preliminary support
              for user-defined comparison function (Lisp only);

[02-mar-99] - add `Rule Table' and `Rule Graph' to `Analyze';

[02-mar-99] - make processing timeout show in `error' field (PAGE only);

              associated with a phenomenon as a special class `Other';

[29-jul-98] - produce TCL output for comparison tables (`Compare' menue);

[29-jul-98] - integrate balloon help (display help window on top when active);

[29-jul-98] - make backgrounding test run optional;

[24-jun-98] - update database list only when database root effectively changes;

[24-jun-98] - fix event handling mechanism in podium-loop();


vague ideas:
------------

[30-jan-99] - rethink aggregation in profile comparison; allow target data set
              to be aggregated (by i-id) according to source; relax constraint
              on comparability (similar to in-detail comparison);

[28-jan-99] - integrate new table viewer (speed-up); alllow dynamic
              manipulation of tables (hide and unhide columns and rows, choose
              sort key, export current view as raw data and condition for new
              queries);

[27-jan-99] - use regular expressions to mask (hide, selective display) entries
              from the list of test suite instances; incremental search on all
              or currently mapped entries;
