070901 - Norm said they are moving into a home in June, which will be a welcome
070902 - change from their apartment.  He feels his situation at SDWA is more
070903 - settled now, and he is generally pleased with the situation.
070904 -
070905 - Norm is now using the computer again he had last year.  He indicated
070906 - it has the old SDS program on it, so apparently the updated version I
070907 - sent in February, ref SDS 1, has not been installed.  His computer has
070908 - an Autocad program that he expects to be removing, which will then
070909 - free up some room.

070912 - Status of testimonial
070913 -
070914 - Norm thinks he has the testimonial letter I sent, ref OF 4, around
070915 - somewhere.  He is open to doing something like that, but has not got-
070916 - ten to it yet.  Norm asked me to send another copy.

070919 - Byte Magazine Response
070920 -
070921 - Mentioned the articles in Byte, and my efforts to obtain response
070922 - citing the performance of SDS, ref OF 1 - 6.
070923 -
070924 - Will send reviews and a draft response for Norm to consider, ref OF 5.

0712 - SDS program update
0713 -
071301 - Decided to send Norm a new progam, instead of just an update disk.
071302 -
071303 - Advised I have finalized (to the extent software is ever "finalized")
071304 - SDS, and so am sending along the most recent update disk for him to
071305 - try.
071306 -
071307 -             b:install b   [assuming 3.5" port is "b"]
071308 -
071309 -
071310 - It will tell you to install disk one in the port and hit enter.  Just
071311 - follow the instructions.

0716 - Notes on SDS changes
0717 -
071701 - Menus & Help
071702 -
071703 - These changes make the program easier to use.  Shift F10 opens menus,
071704 - and Ctrl F10 opens context sensitive help.  Help can be opened with
071705 - Ctrl F10 from within a menu for an explanation of a function name that
071706 - may not be clear from the menu.
071707 -
071708 - Contacts
071709 -
071710 - This is must faster and more flexible.  It is accessed through the
071711 - "Contacts" heading in the menu.
071712 -
071713 -
071714 - Highlighting - Atl F10
071715 -
071716 - You can color code Tasks in the Schedule Summary and lines of text in
071717 - SDS records to make particular tasks or headings stand out.  Alt F10
071718 - also automates the Follow-Up function in SDS records.
071719 -
071720 -
071721 - File Access - F1 F3
071722 -
071723 - This now opens a temporary window in the middle of the current screen
071724 - where you can enter a specification of a file to open it, or you can
071725 - enter a path specification to get a list of files.
071726 -
071727 - When you open a file list, you can execute other programs.
071728 -
071729 - This is a powerful feature, similar to the F1 F5 file list function
071730 - in the Subject Index.

0907 - Concepts and Ideas
0908 -
090801 - Norm said they recently evaluated a software program where the vendor
090802 - provided a video that demonstrates the product.  He feels this has
090803 - advantages in avoiding presentation failures that take time and raise
090804 - questions, and it is much easier to present the product up the
090805 - management line for review and approval.
090806 -
090807 - Norm also suggested a demonstration disk that could be given to show
090808 - someone how the program works.
090809 -
090810 - I have created a demonstration program, but that is much different
090811 - from what Norm recommends.  My demo in the current version requires
090812 - someone to know or learn how to use it.  Norm is pointing to something
090813 - that would run itself.
