101001 - Follow up ref SDS 28 8888, ref SDS 27 8888.
101002 -
101003 - Continued improvements to citation system, and began changing macro
101004 - 004 that makes a new task so it can link all of the sub-headings, and
101005 - so it uses the new anchor format instead of line numbers. The new
101006 - citation anchors require a period of adjustment, since they are an
101007 - unfamiliar element in the text flow.  Over the next several weeks,
101008 - spent a lot of time converting legacy line number link format to the
101009 - new anchor system.

1013 - Evaluation
1014 -
101401 - I think this method of creating links, begun on 971114, ref SDS 25
101402 - 0I8V, links will work better than the prior method of relying on line
101403 - numbers.  It seems like it will solve the problem of knowledge creep,
101404 - ref SDS 26 4065; and, it supports delivering business intelligence for
101405 - the anytime, anywhere on the Internet, per planning on 971105,
101406 - ref SDS 24 2367, and earlier on 971021.
101408 -  ..
101409 - The only drawback is the distraction of reading past the link anchor
101410 - in the text.  Making the anchor 5 characters, provides a fairly
101411 - unobstrusive factor in the record, per analysis on 971118. ref SDS 28
101412 - 4646
101414 -  ..
101415 - Another drawback is the new linking scheme does not give any clues
101416 - about the relation between links listed sequentially in the record.
101417 - This can be remedied by adding the line numbers, even though they seem
101418 - to get out of date.
101420 -  ..
101421 - This "anchor" system will support the goal to make links accessible
101422 - using a Web browser on the Internet or an intranet. ref SDS 28 4646,

101431 - Legacy Links Convert to New Affirmative Anchor System
101432 -
101433 - We need to convert links from the old line number scheme to apply the
101434 - new anchor format on key records, so we can be operating efficiently.
101435 -
101436 -     [On 980325 most of the conversion was performed beginning on
101437 -     980325 using planning developed today. ref SDS 30 3X8N
101439 -  ..
101440 - This requires a 4 step process...
101441 -
101442 -        1.  Object Record.
101443 -
101444 -            Open SDS record and read the context of a link, then press
101445 -            Enter or double click opening the link to the target
101446 -            record.
101448 -             ..
101449 -        2.  Target Record.
101450 -
101451 -            Find the location in the target record where a link should
101452 -            occur that relates to the context of the object record
101453 -            where the current record is linked in step 1.  This step
101454 -            takes time exercising judgement about the correlation
101455 -            between the current location and the purpose of the link in
101456 -            the object record.
101458 -             ..
101459 -            Create an anchor with F1 F1 F3 at the location determined
101460 -            to be the target of the link in the object record.
101462 -             ..
101463 -            Press F2 to save the record.
101465 -             ..
101466 -            Remember the new anchor scheme.
101468 -             ..
101469 -            Press Ctrl F6 to switch back to the object record.
101471 -             ..
101472 -        3.  Object Record.
101473 -
101474 -            Key in the anchor from the target record to replace the
101475 -            line number scheme for the link.
101477 -             ..
101478 -            Press F2 to save the change.
101480 -             ..
101481 -            Press Enter or double click t test the revised link using
101482 -            the new anchor.
101484 -             ..
101485 -        4.  Target Record.
101486 -
101487 -            If pressing Enter or double click opens the target record
101488 -            at the correct location, then...
101490 -             ..
101491 -            Press ESC to close the target record, and press ESC again
101492 -            to close the object record, because the exercise is
101493 -            completed.
101495 -             ..
101496 -            If not, then check to verify the anchor was correctly
101497 -            entered in the target record.
101499 -  ..
101500 - Since this is a labor intensive process that requires judgement to
101501 - determine the correlation between link context and the context in the
101502 - target record, the initial effort is only to convert major records,
101503 - like...
