0608 -
060801 - Follow up ref SDS 6 2227, ref SDS 5 4292.
060802 -
060803 - Changed Web pages to improve appearance and added ability to access
060804 - links to SDS records that have not been converted to the new anchor
060805 - method.
060806 -
060807 - [Also today, added conversion of SDS linking on old records to use
060808 - the "line" command. ref SDS 9 1058]
060809 -
060810 - [Tested results of these changes. ref SDS 10 5765]
060811 -
060812 - [On 980325 further tests revealed problems that were solved. ref

0612 -
061201 - Per testing past few days, ref SDS 8 1149, we need to make following
061202 - improvements in 070405.
061203 - ..
061204 - 1. Change Executive Summary to just Summary and color it red.
061205 - ref SDS 8 1980 Executive Summary is too heady and busy for
061206 - every single record.
061207 -
061208 - Did this below at ref SDS 0 1479.
061209 - ..
061210 - 2. Remove "Re" from SDS record description, per ref SDS 8
061211 - 2145.
061212 -
061213 - Did this below at ref SDS 0 3111.
061214 - ..
061215 - 3. Allow users to open Web sites with line number parameters
061216 - for SDS links that have not been converted to new system, so
061217 - they start at the Executive Summary. ref SDS 8 1149
061218 -
061219 - This requires entering in all records a standard link at the
061220 - top of the record, and I think it will be on "Diary" field so
061221 - the summary listing is in full view.
061222 -
061223 - Did this below at ref SDS 0 2177.
061224 -
061225 - [May have caused processing crashes, solved on 980325. ref
061226 - SDS 26 3098]
061227 -
061228 - 4. Eliminate line numbers for subject descriptions and use
061229 - proportional fonts to improve appearance. ref SDS 8 1149
061230 -
061231 - Did this below at ref SDS 0 0907.
061232 - ..
061233 - 5. Changed to Times Roman font for indented headings, e.g.,
061234 - "Progress," "Discussion" and for logging time of interim tasks.
061235 -
061236 - Did this below at, ref SDS 0 4478,
061237 - ..
061238 - 5. Need to figure out a way to stack multiple citations on
061239 - the same line. In the record of IBM's announcement on business
061240 - intelligence, there are three cites on the same line.
061241 -
061242 - See effort to solve this simply by making recl 360. ref SDS 0

090605 -
090606 - Line 930, ref OF 2 5813, -label 02, about 70 lines below, changed
090607 - Executive Summary, to just "Summary" for the Web page, per ref SDS 0

090609 -
090610 - This reserves for special situations the use of Executive Summary.

090620 - be used for links that still have the line number param rather than
090621 - the new format, per ref SDS 0 0883.

090630 - Line 930, ref OF 2 5763, -label 02, about 50 lines below,
090631 - added another standard anchor "0000" above the document
090632 - address line.
090633 -
090634 - Decided against this location.
090635 -
090636 - Line 1020, ref OF 2 2463, -label nMemoF Actually, I think I
090637 - will try adding it to the same line as the "xx" line, since we
090638 - want to put the reader so the maximum amount of Summary is
090639 - visible.
090640 -
090641 - No, decided to put "0000" on the xx anchor which is above the
090642 - date line.
090643 -
090644 - [On 980427 added similar call to default anchor for
090645 - non-SDS records. ref SDS 12 3425]
090646 -
090647 - [On 980501 added code for SDS records to open an "0000"

110505 -
110506 - Presently, when the code encounters a link that has a line number it
110507 - skips it. Now I want to have it open the SDS record where the link is
110508 - located and place the reader at the Diary date line, which is a new
110509 - anchor created today, above. ref SDS 0 2177
110510 -
110511 - This supplements work on 980311 that skips links that do not have
110512 - a parameter. ref SDS 4 1224
110513 -
110514 - Should probably add condition of no anchor param to the new
110515 - feature created today.
110516 -
110517 - Actually, there are so few of them that it is not worth the
110518 - effort.
110519 -
110520 - Line 1480, ref OF 2 1651, -label ref2, about 60 lines below, we have

110522 -
110523 - Line 2050, ref OF 2 0233, -label nHTml, about 25 lines below, need to
110524 - add code to position cursor to enter anchor ending code after the word
110525 - "line" rather than the number spec, when the link has not been
110526 - converted from the original "line" format.
110527 -
110528 - Line 2080, ref OF 2 3715, -label cnuM, code will enter a link to

110536 -
110537 - On record at 940219, ref SDS 2 5626, we get a loop.
110538 -
110539 - Problem seems to be this record has a cite in the narrative to a
110540 - ref num for Other Files that does not exist. The line numbers
110541 - have not been refreshed in the record, so it is an old record
110542 - because now line numbers for all records are updated each time
110543 - they are saved.
110544 -
110545 - Line 1590, ref OF 2 3787, -label nSDs added code to verify the
110546 - locate for the ref num lands on a ref line and not in the
110547 - narrative.
110548 -
110549 - This will skip linking such erroneous conditions. If it comes up
110550 - that the link is needed, the record can be investigated and fixed.
