0507 - Summary
0508 -
050801 - Jeff said he has stopped using the print feature for SDS reports,
050802 - because this is such a big problem.
050803 -
050804 - I will send him the solution.
050805 -
050806 -
0509 -
0510 - Modify Autoexec.bat
0511 -
051101 - Enter following string as the last line, or at least after the "path"
051102 - statement in the autoexec.bat file.
051103 -
051104 -              print /d:lpt1>nul
051105 -
051106 - ... or if you are using DOS 5.0 with extended memory, use
051107 -
051108 -              lh print /d:lpt1>nul
051109 -
051110 -
051111 - This assumes your printer is connected to lpt1.  If the printer is on
051112 - lpt2, use that param in place of "lpt1" in above command.
051113 -
051114 -
051115 - DOS 5.0
051116 -
051117 - This version of DOS increases available RAM for SDS by about 60K which
051118 - is very, very significant to program performance.  It costs about $50
051119 - for the update.

0810 - Evaluation of Use
0811 -
081101 - For the most part, Jeff is using SDS as a chronological diary.  He is
081102 - probably getting value from the automated Schedule, highlighting and
081103 - follow up features, but not much from the Diary data base, although he
081104 - likes knowing it is there.
081105 -
081106 - Jeff feels that solving the computer memory problem will offer more
081107 - opportunities to use more of the SDS capability.
081108 -
081109 -
081110 - Subject Index
081111 -
081112 - Jeff is using the Subject Index on about 25% of his SDS records.  The
081113 - other 75% do not have subjects assigned.  He feels the SI will become
081114 - more valuable, but he has not yet developed a satisfactory subject
081115 - structure, and has not felt the need to assemble chronologies on
081116 - "subjects."
081117 -
081118 - Jeff is not doing much project management, so he feels his work is not
081119 - amenable to using a project specification for subject accounts.
081120 -
081121 - He has never done a subject report.
081122 -
081123 - Generally, he uses the Diary Summary function, F1 F2, to look up
081124 - contacts based upon keywords in the record description, with something
081125 - like:
081126 -
081127 - d60 /Howard
081128 -
081129 - He is not apparently using the SDS report features for subjects, doc-
081130 - uments, files or contacts, using F1 Alt F9 (now just F1 F9), nor the
081131 - "Keyword" report feature in the "Report" menu.
081132 -
081133 -
081134 - Record linkage
081135 -
081136 - This feature is generally being accomplished, and Jeff does on occas-
081137 - sion use the F1 F6 (now just <Enter>) function to step back in the
081138 - record to verify understandings.  Even this is being used minimally.
