081203 - Wayne reported the new code does not work.  Testing indicates the
081204 - code seems okay, because it works on c12, but it is slower than prior
081205 - versions because it does an extra step of sorting the pointers to
081206 - improve the speed of reports.

081606 -     As discussed with Wayne on 010527, we would like Wayne to have the
081607 -     ability to quickly, and easily keep his office computer and home
081608 -     computers in sync, so he can work at either location.

081644 -         Actually, for the non-SDS files, this will be all files, so

081646 -         when he is ready to do this, and we can create these files.

081648 -         Suggest in the letter today, that we do this near to the
081649 -         end of the day, when he is finished using SDS, so the transfer

090409 - Wayne reports that SDS failed again when he tried to open the program

090426 - Modified 0815 to update 25.bat during program construction.
090427 -
090428 -    To test this, transferred 01.zip to c12, and moved SDS records on
090429 -    d: to c:, and subject index from h: to c:.
090430 - ..
090431 - Tested the same code on c12.
090432 -
090433 - Modified c12 by moving SDS records from d: to c:, and moved the
090434 - Subject Index and contacts from h: to c.
090435 -
090436 - The schedule on c12 was last updated on Monday, 010528.  Therefore, we
090437 - can test the SDS initialization op, since today is Wednesday, 010530.
090438 -
090439 - Created a few test records
090440 -
090441 - Transferred 01.zip to c12, and ran install.
090442 -
090443 - At the DOS prompt typed "sds" and pressed Enter.
090444 -
090445 - After a few seconds, the new User Setup program appeared.
090446 -
090447 - Typed in my name, and pressed Enter.  Typed in password, and pressed
090448 - F1.  Typed User ID, and pressed Enter.
090449 - ..
090450 - SDS ran correctly, updating the Schedule and archiving test SDS
090451 - records.  it did take about a minute or so for this to run.  It takes
090452 - a little longer now, because we sort the pointers, rathen than just
090453 - append them.  We have about 20 MB to sort.  Wayne problably has less
090454 - than 5 MB, so it should only take 20 to 30 seconds for his start up
090455 - operation to run.

090458 -
090459 - Possibly the operating system on Wayne's home computer is using a swap
090460 - file to do this operation, if there is not a lot of memory on the
090461 - system, say less than 64 MB.  In that case, it would take longer for
090462 - the SDS initiatization operation; but, this seems like a remote very
090463 - possibility.
