Minutes meeting May 11, 1999
============================

1) Incremental extraction
As with the new syntax for EXAMINE there is no clean way for having an EXAMINE
statement directly in the boolean expression of an IF or WHILE statement
(EXAMINE gives now back two parameters), we take that out of the CLAM language. 
The following statement is no more possible:
    WHILE (h1.EXAMINE() != DONE) {}
It has to be replaced by:
    (s=status)=h1.EXAMINE()
    WHILE (s != DONE) {(s=status)=h1.EXAMINE()}
or:
    (s=status, p=progress)=h1.EXAMINE()
    WHILE (s != DONE) {
     IF p>50 {....}
     (s=status, p=progress)=h1.EXAMINE()}

2) I gave the first part of an introduction into XML

3) We went over the slides of  Laurence for her CAiSE talk
