TODO List for integrating MGED features into Archer
+---- ALPHA ISSUES ---
+capability & features
+=====================
+
Intended as a "list of work to be done" for porting MGED features to Archer.
The absence of a feature
does not necessarily mean it is intended that this feature be added,
particularly for "minor" features
or features that are currently not working well in MGED to start with - these
are primarily discussion
points.
