1210 - Summary/Objective
1211 -
121101 - Follow up ref SDS 10 0630, ref SDS 9 5038.
121102 -
121103 - Began making some tools to convert ASCII docs into HTML, per
121104 - objectives on 971206. ref SDS 6 1587
121105 -
121106 -      [See follow up on 971219. ref SDS 12 2566]
121107 - ..
121108 - Made progress formatting the USACE Communication Metrics report
121109 - into HTML, per below, ref SDS 0 2831, following up work yesterday....
121110 - ref SDS 8 5196
121111 -
121112 - Thinking of using version of the USACE report that omits a lot of text
121113 - that is not needed for people to get introduced to Communication
121114 - Metrics, to send to customers, including those who attended the
121115 - Communication Metrics meeting at HQUSACE in Washington D.C. on 971202.
121116 - ref SDS 5 0732
121117 -
121118 - Another option is to create the Web site and put the SDS data base
121119 - out there, so people can access it.  This would mean we don't have to
121120 - send a big file initially that takes a long time to load.
121121 -

1214 - Progress
1215 -   ..
121501 - The concept of the Web site records initially, is to save them
121502 - in multiple versions.
121503 -
121504 -     The initial version does not have HTML and is created with links
121505 -     into the SDS record.
121506 -
121507 -     These original documents, like original SDS records, can then be
121508 -     processed to create the HTML record on the e: drive.
121509 -
121510 - Another idea would be to simply create HTML format from the start, and
121511 - not have a second set of records.
121512 -
121513 -     This is more practical for documents because they do not have
121514 -     functionality like SDS records require.
121515 -
121516 -      [On 971219 developed Web site concept further. ref SDS 12 2566]
121517 - ..
121518 - One problem is consistent access by Web browsers.  We have had
121519 - mixed results.  Netscape seems to work better, but a lot of people are
121520 - moving to Internet Explorer because it is Microsoft.  However, IE does
121521 - not seem to access links in SDS records, per meeting with Morris. ref
121522 - SDS 13 0137  Actually, the problem Morris had was opening HTML stuff
121523 - sent through the Eudor email program.  Once I sent them through
121524 - Netscape he could use the open the files and use the links.
121525 -
121526 - That experience got me using the Netscape mail program.
121527 -
121528 - Today, I downloaded a new version of Microsoft Internet Explorer
121529 - version 4.01, but it does not seem to improve on version 3.0 in
121530 - connection with this matter. ref SDS 11 1308
121531 -

121533 -  ..
121534 - 0704083 - Convert SDS Links to HTML Links
121535 -
121536 - Line 20, ref OF 9 4025, created this to convert links in original
121537 - documents so they have the full HTML code as a link anchor. Initially,
121538 - they are created with only the unique identifying string, so this
121539 - addes HTML code.
121540 -
121541 -     [On 971219 modified and applied to HTML menu. ref SDS 12 2540]

121543 -     [On 980221 had to fix a problem. ref SDS 13 1962]

121550 - 0704081 - Create HTML Links within Documenrts
121551 -
121552 - Line 30, ref OF 7 2253, developed this new function key assignment.
121553 -
121554 - This is similar to creating internal links in SDS records.  We start
121555 - with Mark 2, Alt F2, then find the target location and execute the
121556 - function, Ctrl F9.  It then marks the target location with Mark 1.
121557 -
121558 - 011C09 - PC9 can be the new function.
121559 -
121560 -      [On 971219 added to menu for HTML functions. ref SDS 12 2688]
121561 -

121564 -
121565 -  ..
121566 -
121567 - This should be able to do links between files, if I can figure out a
121568 - way to jump between files.

121902 - Improved Communication Metrics HTML Report
121903 -
121904 - Late this evening, I got FrontPage 98 installed. ref SDS 11 4695.

121906 - Was able to improve HTML formatting of the Communication Metrics
121907 - file. ref DRP 3 6172
121908 -
121909 - We need to get the USACE logo into the report.  I am hopeful that the
121910 - Image Maker program, installed with FrontPage, ref SDS 11 4780, will
121911 - help.
