+ChangeLog
+
+See the ChangeLog file looking for lines taged with the word FIXME.
+
+COREFILE.C:
+
+The implementation of corefile.c (defined by corefile.h) isn't the
+best.  It is intended to be functionaly correct rather than fast.  One
+option being considered is to add a data cache to reduce the overhead
+of the most common case of data read/writes.
+
+VEA
+
+Missing VEA system calls.
+
+ppc-instructions:
+
+Missing or commented out instructions.
+
+64bit:
+
+64bit target untested. 64bit host broken.  For instance use of scanf
+"%x", &long long.
+
+events.c:
+
+Event code for pending events from within signal handlers not
+finished/tested.
+
+hw_*.c:
+
+Better and more devices.
+
+PORTABILITY:
+
+(Notes taken from Michael Meissner): Heavy use of the ## operator -
+fix using the clasic X/**/Y hack; Use of the signed keyword.  In
+particular, signed char has no analogue in classic C (though most
+implementations of classic C use signed chars); Use of long long which
+restricts the target compiler to be GCC.
+
+
+device_ioctl():
+
+Should have an extra argument (unsigned request) as standard.
