0606 -    ..
0607 - General
0608 -
060801 - He will consider and respond to following questions.
060802 -
060803 - What is the biggest help he sees from SDS so far?
060804 - What advantage did he envision that has not occurred?
060805 - What is the most annoying thing about SDS so far?
060806 - How would he like the program to work differently?
060807 -
060808 - I will send him an updated program within a few days.
060809 -
0609 -
0610 - Home computer
0611 -
061101 - He bought a computer for $500 at an auction.  It is an 80286 with 50
061102 - MB harddrive and an interanl modem.  Uses a 1.2 MB floppy.  Assume it
061103 - has at least 1 MB of RAM.
061104 -
061105 - Discussed how to use F1 F1 F2 F4 to make a file to send via phone mail
061106 - fax.  Will send this via fax to demo the feature, ref DIT 1.
061107 -
061108 -
0612 -
0613 -
0614 - Concerns he has now about SDS
0615 -
0616 - Cannot print
0617 -
061701 - He is getting garbage.  It worked okay with the old version.  Jeff
061702 - will work on this matter some more.
061703 -
061704 - He says the line numbers are printing but not the body text.  This
061705 - seems strange, because the line numbers are the same font as the body
061706 - text.  If one prints, so should the other.
061707 -
061708 -
0618 -
0619 -
0620 - Cannot access Lotus or Wordperfect
0621 -
062101 - We changed these files for him on the phone, ref OF 1 and 2.  He
062102 - tested it and found he can now open Lotus and Wordperfect.  Made it
062103 - work on Lotus with either a capital or lowercase "l".
062104 -
062105 -
0622 -
0623 - Contacts
0624 -
062401 - We solved this.  It had to do with the alternate name field for Doc
062402 - Log and SDS fields.  His Help screen is a little different, so the
062403 - update should be cover this.
062404 -
062405 -
0625 -
0626 -
0627 - Save Schedule analysis
0628 -
062801 - He wants to this.  I explained how to do this by entering a number
062802 - greater than 0 in the time field.  This is explained in SDS Help,
062803 - see the main SDS index.
062804 -
0629 -
0630 -
0631 - Memo format
0632 -
063201 - He wants a different letterhead.  Jeff created what he wants in the
063202 - prior version, but has not had time to update this version.  He will
063203 - try to use the old file to load the new macro with cut and paste.
063204 -
063205 -
0633 -
0634 - Keyword search
0635 -
063501 - He would like a feature like Wordperfect that supports full file
063502 - search for keywords, instead of just the record heading which is
063503 - available in the Diary Summary.
063504 -
063505 - I explained how to use the Norton ts, or tx command (it should be in
063506 - his DOS dir) to accomplish this objective, and that the result can be
063507 - directed to a temporary file, then brought into an SDS ref field, to
063508 - open each file with Shift F7.  Jeff would like to avoid the Shift F7
063509 - step of going to DOS.
063510 -
063511 - Example:  Look for SDS recs where "blueprint" is entered:
063512 -
063513 - At dos prompt enter:
063514 -
063515 -         C>tx c:\sd\08\00301\02\90 "blueprint" /s/t > x  <Enter>
063516 -
063517 - After the thing runs (about 5 seconds), enter exit to return to SDS,
063518 - and open the "x" file, from the Ref field, or using F1 F3 file access
063519 - screen.
