1011 - Summary/Objective
1012 -
101201 - Followed up work at ref SDS 17 1111, ref SDS 16 line 51.
101202 -
101203 - Completed the first step of getting a processor that can convert
101204 - an SDS record to HTML format for display on the Web, including email
101205 - and provide some linkages.
101206 -
101207 - Originally, this was a two part process:
101208 -
101209 -     1.  Use Report menu and select "Memo ASCII"
101210 -
101211 -     2.  Use F4 in the ASCII report file to create the HTML memo file.
101212 -
101213 -     3.  Use menu in Memo ASCII output file to create final format for
101214 -         sending the file as ordinary email without HTML.
101215 -
101216 - I actually changed this a bit.  Added a separate Internet menu choice
101217 - that does both steps at once.
101218 - ..
101219 - So, there is now just a single choice for an ASCII report, and
101220 - another choice for Internet/HTML memos.
101221 -
101222 -
101223 - Purchased new book on HTML that helped complete this coding effort.

1015 - Problems
1016 -
101601 - The font size is not being applied uniformly and italic is not being
101602 - turned off.  Once it is set, the entire file is shown in italic, even
101603 - though there are commands that change back to Times Roman.
101604 -
101605 -     Maybe we cannot change the font size on a particular line.
101606 -
101607 -     Looks like if we do it we have to enter a </FONT> and then start
101608 -     the font over.
101609 -
101610 -         Actually, the book purchased on HTML (see below) shows we have
101611 -         to use the </font> command whenever there is a <font> command.
101612 -         They work in pairs.
101613 -
101614 - Font color is not being applied uniformly.
101615 -
101616 -     Had to add command to change color back to black at end of each
101617 -     line and to add </font> for each <font color=...> command.
101618 -
101619 - Links to other files are not being applied correctly.
101620 -
101621 -     We are getting the filename appended to the initial address
101622 -     of the file first opened.
101623 -
101624 -     Figured out we need to add the "file:///" command.
101625 -
101626 -         Strangely, this does not appear anywhere in the book Bill
101627 -         loaned me.
101628 -
101629 -         I noticed that when I opened a file by name, the browser used
101630 -         the spec "file:///" to precede the actual filename.

150801 - Line 715 -label dG1_P_H, about 60 lines below, changed then
150802 - number of lines in the ASCII memo header, so that the FROM user name
150803 - is 2 lines below MEMORANDUM, rather than just one.  This lets the code
150804 - in 070405 be the same for the Executive Summary and the Memorandum.
150805 -
150806 - Line 1065 -label Prof, ref OF 5 4744, removed pf4 call to 070405
150807 - because today, I incorporated 0704013 into 070405 so there is a single
150808 - macro to create an HTML file format for using the Internet.

151206 - Memorandum, HTML Function - 070405
151207 -
151208 - Decided to combine the code in 0704013 with some modifications that
151209 - eliminate unneeded code for the Internet/HTML Memo function.
151210 -
151211 - This allows us to eliminate the macro 070406 by making a single
151212 - function that creates an ASCII memo file for email only.  We have a
151213 - second macro 070405 that creates the Internet/HTML file.

1515 - 070406
1516 -
151601 - Created this today as a supplemental call that finalizes formatting
151602 - of ASCII output file so the file can be sent via email.
151603 -
151604 - It just removes the characters in column 78 and extending beyond the
151605 - file specs for Contacts and SDS references.
151606 -
151607 - I removed this capability from 0704013 so that the output could be
151608 - processed by 070405 to create citations.
151609 -
151610 - We need to remove this stuff to send these ASCII files as ordinary
151611 - message in email.  We do not want anything beyond column 80 because
151612 - it does not transmit well as email.
151613 -
151614 - Wound up deleting this because the code is incorporated into 0704013,
151615 - so there is a single operation that creates an ASCII memo file that
151616 - is ready to send via email.
151617 -

151621 - 000007 - Call Internet/HTML Macro File 070405
151622 -
151623 - Line 580 -entry 1172, ref OF 13 1587, initially created this macro to
151624 - replace the code that called the Extract for Transfer function.  It
151625 - was calling
151626 -
151627 -                         c: sd 03 0704013
151628 -                         c: sd 03 070405
151629 -
151630 -     ...and was in-turn being called in the menu file 0504051, per
151631 -     below.
151632 -
151633 - I then decided to eliminate this macro, because I combined the code in
151634 - 0704013 with the 070405 macro, and this makes it possible to call the
151635 - entire thing from the menu with a single command, which can be
151636 - accomplished without a compiled macro.

170615 -     calls first 0704013 and then 070405.
170616 -

171002 - assignment from ATT mail thing, which no longer exists anyway, to HTML
171003 - for Internet conversion.
171004 -
171005 - This calls the new macro 070405.
171006 -
171007 - Also added a menu choice to call macro 070406, ref OF 11 2710, created
171008 - today to do the few things needed to get the output from 0704013 ready
171009 - for processing by 070405.
171010 -
171011 - Was able to eliminate both of these calls because made a separate
171012 - call to 070405 as a single processor that creates the HTML/Internet
171013 - memo format in a single step.
