Significant tasks identified in the CARMA "High-level computing
requirements and specifications" but deferred beyond August:

o Anti-collision system 
o Tasks that are generally for observer convenience but not critical
   to operation. Examples include:
   . direct entry of Galactic/solar surface coordinates
   . integration of opacity monitor into archived data
   . on the fly corrections of linelengths, bandpass
   . calibrator database
   . automated IV curves
   . automated delay peakup
   . automated focus peakup
