0812 -
081201 - Follow up ref SDS 43 0000, ref SDS 42 0000.
081202 -
081203 - Wayne reported his office computer is working today, which seems to
081204 - conflict with the report on Sunday that the c: 01 02 directory that
081205 - has batch files is missing. Need to verify he has the correct files.
081206 - ref SDS 0 P97H Prepared batch files to transfer and receive updated
081207 - files from home and work. ref SDS 0 P982 and ref SDS 0 4A9F
081208 -
081209 - Problem with home computer was most likely that change to 25.bat
081210 - routine that updates pointers was not incorporated into code for end
081211 - users on c: drive. Made this correction. ref SDS 0 SQ5J
081212 -
081213 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Wayne linked to this record, and
081214 - suggesting he call, when time permits to transfer remaining SDS
081215 - records on his office computer for transfer to the home computer.

081604 - Follow up ref SDS 43 3P6L, ref SDS 42 3P6L.
081605 -
081606 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Wayne this morning reporting that he
081607 - downloaded sds.bat from the web, which was put there on Sunday, after
081608 - getting Wayne's letter saying sds. was not working.
081609 -
081610 - He says SDS is now working, but the version on the home computer is
081611 - broke, per below. ref SDS 0 SQ5J
081612 -
081613 - It seems strange that the office SDS program could be working in light
081614 - of Wayne's letter on 010527 that the c: 01 02 directory does not exist
081615 - on his computer. ref SDS 43 3P6L
081616 - ..
081617 - Possibly Wayne can confirm the following directories have the
081618 - following contents using the DIR command....
081619 -
081620 - dir c: 01 02......... 81,847 Bytes 54 files

081623 - dir c: sd 03...... 1,126,437 " 200 "

081626 - and so he has all the files. ref SDS 0 AV6M

081631 -
081632 - As discussed with Wayne on 010527, we would like Wayne to have the
081633 - ability to quickly, and easily keep his office computer and home
081634 - computers in sync, so he can work at either location.

081685 - when he is ready to do this, and we can create these files.
081686 -
081687 - Suggest in the letter today, that we do this near to the end
081688 - of the day, when he is finished using SDS, so the transfer
081689 - picks up everything. ref DIT 1 5L7I

161101 - Wayne called.
161102 -
161103 - F2 is failing to save an SDS record on his office computer.
161104 -
161105 - We did an exercise to create a new record, and created a subject for
161106 - SDS "Problems."
161107 -
161108 - We tried F2 and this was successful saving the record.
161109 -
161110 - We opened Wayne's SDS record that F2 failed to save earlier, and tried
161111 - F2. It worked.
161112 -
161113 - Wayne seemed to indicate he tried F2 a few more times during our
161114 - telecon and it seems to be working now.
161115 -
161116 - This seems to indicate the problem is that memory is the problem,
161117 - rather than anything to do with the SDS code.
161118 -
161119 - Explained F2 does a lot of tasks, reported in the record on 010510,
161120 - when the "save" function was improved. ref SDS 40 0800

161130 - the record that would not save, and use F2. This is usually all that
161131 - is needed to clear the memory problem.
161132 -
161133 - Wayne seemed to feel this problem is solved.
161134 -
161135 - He advised that his son has been waiting for Wayne to take them home,
161136 - so Wayne wants to do the system transfer tomorrow, rather than today.
