0406 -
040601 - I gave Norm a quick lesson on the Editor.
040602 -
040603 - We tried SDS, and it crashed, so I made the fixes described below.
040604 -
040605 - Called him back at 1400 to explain what changes to make.  He is away
040606 - from his desk.  I left a message for him to call back.
040607 -
040608 - I tried to reach Wayne Wetzel again to bring him up to date, but he
040609 - is gone until next week.  I spoke briefly to JoAnn.  She has not
040610 - received the disketts from Norm yet.  I explained the need for making
040611 - the correction to macro 008.  I will try to get Norm to copy the
040612 - change we make to the disketts, so JoAnn can simply download the
040613 - thing to her machine.

040615 -
0407 -
0408 - 1610 Norm called back
0409 -
040901 - I explained how to make the above changes to 01 04 0080 and compress
040902 - it.  We did this on-line.
040903 -
040904 - Norm tried the thing and it worked.
040905 -
040906 - He will begin reviewing the Manual this evening and call if he has
040907 - any questions.

Correct code error

0605 - SDS start up problem
0606 -
060601 - We tried to start an sd norm file and it crashed.
060602 -
060603 - I looked at the code and found it fails when the number of days left
060604 - in the month is less than a certain number.
060605 -
060606 - Problem is with 008.
060607 -
060608 - Counter 12 has the days of the month.  It is used to delete the
060609 - entries needed for the number of days of the month prior to the
060610 - current date; so that only the current date and the remaining days to
060611 - the end of the month are left in the file.
060612 -
060613 - The current date is entered initially.
060614 -
060615 - Solution
060616 -
06061601 - Made the following changes at approximately line 460:
06061602 -
06061603 -         line @8
06061604 -         down
06061605 -
06061606 - Whatever was there before, I added these lines.  It appears the
06061607 - problem was related to July 31, being the last day of the month, so
06061608 - the code could not go through a cycle in the manner of there being
06061609 - more than one day left in the month.  But I could not really recog-
06061610 - nize why it has been working all along, and now suddenly stops.
06061611 -
06061612 -
060617 -
0607 -
0608 - Error in 06112 code
0609 -
060901 - There were two mistakes in this thing.  I found them doing some
060902 - experiments on the Gracon data which Norm said he wanted to research.
060903 -
060904 - The macro 98 in file 000006 was using the wrong offset.  It needs of
060905 - 0 for the full report, and of
