0408 - Progress
0409 -
040901 - The past 2 years have been very hectic creating a baseline of Medit
040902 - java code sufficient to begin producing a useable SDS java application
040903 - for the Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
040905 -  ..
040906 - Work has been reported sparringly while concentrating on implementing
040907 - details and solving problems accomplishing the vision of the
040908 - application working with Medit java tools that are a work in progress
040909 - by Morris.  This is extremely complex and difficult, taking long hours
040910 - 7 days a week.

040916 - As a result, understanding, and hence "knowledge" has grown weak on
040917 - objectives, scope, details, correlations between code elements, and
040918 - implications for future development.
040920 -  ..
040921 - For example, initial work on 110423 developing
040922 -
040923 - all of the work added to macro file 04702 on 110511, was
040924 - later removed, and redesigned into compiled macro 4020 on
040926 -  ..
040927 - Compiled macro 4020 in development file sd 33 000012, was initially
040928 - created as macro 1427 and appended to new development file 000010.
040930 -  ..
040931 - The ratinale for appending
040933 -  ..
040934 - The original rational for naming the macro "1427" was because the code
040935 - was created in macro file 000010, for the purpose of avoiding
040936 - proliferation of macro development files.  Since macro file 000010 was
040937 - for macro 142, the mind made the leap that this code was part of the
040938 - SDS record save op, and so 1427 was chosen for a correlation.  Today,
040939 - it was realized that this new code is totally unrelated to saving SDS
040940 - records, and so giving a macro name that implied a correlation is
040941 - misleading.  Therefore a new name was chosen.  Additionally, decided
040942 - today that appending the code to macro file 000010, would be
040943 - inefficient managing the code later, so a new macro filename was
040944 - developed, 000012.
040946 -  ..
040947 - Tried today changing assignment from macro 1427 to -entry 5020.
040948 - Evidently, Morris has used this name internally because Netbeans
040949 - returned an error saying -entry 5020 was a duplicate.  Since there is
040950 - no duplicate for macro 5020 in SDS development code, assume Morris
040951 - applies it somewhere.  Therefore, change the name to macro 4020 in
040952 - macro file 000012, this successfully constructed the SDS program in
040953 - Netbeans, reported on 110511 0753. ref SDS 5 II7K
040955 -  ..
040956 - "Understanding" this kind of history can seem mind numbing, and
040957 - unnecessary, since once everything works, why bother about what was
040958 - done that didn't work?  But one never knows what will turn out to be
040959 - important later that seems unimportant in the moment.
040961 -  ..
040962 - In this case. discovery of possible duplicate macro 5020 assignments
040963 - leads to review on the general issue of what internal macros have been
040964 - assigneed, and what do they do, listed in the record on 110509 1047.
