140519 -    2.  Rod,
140521 -         ..
140522 -    3.  I removed the old DriveWorks files and placed the files from the floppy in
140523 -        the Driveworks directory on the 10 directory.
140525 -         ..
140526 -    4.  To use...
140527 -
140528 -        1)  Copy these files to a floppy.
140530 -             ..
140531 -        2)  Create a startup diskette from Win2k

140562 - Submitted letter to Wayne with link to this record showing possible
140563 - solution to try.
140565 -  ..
140566 - There was initial concern that the Drive works program is about 4 MB,
140567 - and so how this would fit on a 1.2 MB floppy disk seemed puzzeling?
140569 -  ..
140570 - Called Gary to say thanks for extra effort on helping to get Wayne's
140571 - computer configured with partitions for SDS, per Gary's letter this
140572 - morning. ref SDS 0 W57J
140574 -  ..
140575 - Gary said that he applied the steps in his letter successfully,
140576 - indicating that the part of the code needed for partitioning the disk,
140577 - all fits on a single floppy disk.
140579 -  ..
140580 - Step 2 that says...
140581 -
140582 -               Create a startup diskette from Win2k
140583 -

140905 - Gary confirmed that he used the steps for installing Driveworks on a
140906 - new XP computer, and he related that XP has a program in their Control
140907 - Panel system for creating a startup diskett for installing programs
140908 - using a floppy disk. ref SDS 0 W59X
140910 -  ..
140911 - I asked why step 2 says to create a startup diskett for w2k, since
140912 - Wayne also has a new computer, and it most likely is running XP?

140923 - at that time discussed the partitioning issue. ref SDS 1 W65O  Later,
140924 - on 040305, Wayne commented on the new computer again.  A quick review
140925 - does not indicate the operating system.
140927 -  ..
140928 - Gary will look for instructions on setting up a Start up disk for w2k
140929 - and submit via email.
140931 -  ..
140932 - Sent letter to Gary confirming these understandings, and asking for
140933 - guidance on setting up a startup diskett for both w2k and XP, and to
140934 - send the information to Wayne at this home and work locations, using
