NAME
     Rtitool (Request to Integrate tool) is an OpenWindows graph-
     ical  user interface (GUI) tool for use by os-net developers
     and gatekeepers to assist them with the integration process.
     It efficiently creates and submits the Implementor RTI.

SYNOPSIS
     rtitool

AVAILABILITY
     Internal only; 5.x versions available.

DESCRIPTION
     Rtitool is an OpenWindows GUI tool that creates and  submits
     RTI's,  and  has  a  link  to the Bugtraq database.  Given a
     bugid, it fetches the Priority, Severity, and Synopsis  from
     Bugtraq and checks the state of the bugid.

     Rtitool keeps track of release names, gates, and appropriate
     aliases  to  which  RTI's  should be sent.  It also verifies
     that required fields are completed before  sending,  option-
     ally  logs  all  RTI's into a mail file, and is able to load
     existing RTI's from a mail file for updating.

     Rtitool may be customized via the properties feature,  which
     saves  user-defined tool defaults in a file. In addition, an
     administrator has the ability to define os-net specific tool
     defaults in a global configuration file.

USAGE
     The Magnify Help(tm) system furnishes help messages in  Mag-
     nify Help windows for Rtitool buttons and control areas.  To
     use the Magnify Help system, move the pointer to the  object
     or  area  for  which you want help and press the Help key on
     the keyboard.

FILES
     By default, rtitool  searches  for  it's  lib  directory  in
     ../lib  relative  to  it's  invocation  path.   This  can be
     changed by setting the environment variable RTITOOL_LIBDIR.

     ~/.rtitoolrc                  user's properties file
     <libdir>/rtitool.config       system configuration file
