050501 - Follow up ref SDS 1 VC6L.

050503 - Changed file management slightly to increase stability retaining
050504 - prior specification, so that it only has to be entered once, until
050505 - changed.

050901 - Previously, the code relied on preserving the string read by macro
050902 - 1188; however this can easily get corrupted by interim operations
050903 - between passes.  For example, after getting a file list, to open a
050904 - file in the list, macro 1182 changes the globals in macro 1188, so the
050905 - objective to save time by restoring the prior specifciation is
050906 - frustrated.
050908 -  ..
050909 - Changed this to write the spec to the disk, and read it back each
050910 - pass, which is independent of program operations, and so more closely
050911 - meets objectives for stability.

120404 - Running out of compiler space, but eventually managed to develop a
120405 - configuration that avoids breaking the bank.  Actually, wound up
120406 - reducing the code slightly to achieve a very efficient, stable, and
120407 - more useful process.  Simple, direct code is much easier to maintain
120408 - and upgrade.  However, like fixing the code that loads multiple
120409 - accounts into an SDS record Control Field, reported on 060305,
120410 - ref SDS 2 TY9K, the initial effort today produced code that was
120411 - extremely complex, and probably not more useful than what it replaced.
120412 - If we had plenty of memory, would likely have left it that way.
