050818 - Questions
050819 -
050820 -   SDS Theory is Appendix 9; do you have a short openning explanation
050821 -   of what SDS is at the beginning of the documentation?
050822 -
050823 -        Yes!  There is a marketing statement for sales, and an Overview
050824 -        that is similar to the marketing statement, at the beginning of
050825 -        the manual of which SDS Theory is Appendix 9.  The on line help
050826 -        feature has an "Overview" section that summarizes the scope and
050827 -        objectives of SDS.

050845 -   He does not understand why there is no necessary theoretical
050846 -   underpinning of the proposition that one can think of more things
050847 -   that need to be done when a record is prepared of what was actually
050848 -   done.
