.SH AVAILABILITY
Internal only; 5.x versions available.
.SH 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.
.PP
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,
optionally logs all RTI's into a mail file, and is able 
to load existing RTI's from a mail file for updating.
.PP
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.
.SH USAGE
The Magnify Help(tm) system furnishes help
messages in Magnify Help windows for
Rtitool buttons and control areas.
