Cost/Benefit of Better Communications
Standard configuration

0605 -    ..
0606 - Summary/Objective
0607 -
060701 - Follow up ref SDS 37 0000, ref SDS 36 0000.
060702 -
060703 - This will be for Wayne's home computer.
060704 -
060705 - It will make it easier for Wayne to use the Internet.
060706 - ..
060707 - The program to make a version for the c drive was updated on
060708 - 000808. ref SDS 31 0001
060709 -
060710 - After running the menu operation to update the SDS program on g,
060711 - run maks.bat to create a zip file for easy transport and installation.
060712 -
060713 - Before running maks.bat,
060714 -
060715 -     [On 010523 modified m250.bat that creates SDS code, so it also
060716 -     assembles the 01.zip file. ref SDS 38 AG3L
060717 -
060718 -             copy 047027w to g: for Wayne's Group Manager.
060719 -
060720 - ....and...
060721 -
060722 -             move g: sd 51 02,
060723 -                        sd 06 and
060724 -                        sd 09
060725 -
060726 -             ....to c: 10
060727 -
060728 -    Then ran maks to assembled a program installation set without these
060729 -    elements, so it will not overwrite Wayne's subjects and contacts,
060730 -    even though Wayne indicated he has not been using SDS on his home
060731 -    computer.
060732 -
060733 -     [On 010523 modified m250.bat that creates SDS code, so it also
060734 -     runs the code that was in maks.bat to assemble the 01.zip file.
060735 -     ref SDS 38 AG3L
060736 -
060737 -    He will want to copy these folders from his office set, along with
060738 -    SDS records and other work files, so his home system has the same
060739 -    work files, as the computer at the office.
060740 -
060741 -
060742 - This produces a file 01.zip that is now 1.6M which is too big for a
060743 - 1.44M floppy disk.
060744 -
060745 - We can upload this file to the web site using FTP, and Wayne can
060746 - download to install.
060747 -
060748 - Experiment with the code on c:
060749 -
060750 -     Need to transfer c: sd to e sd
060751 -
060752 -     We were missing the Group Manager, 047027.  Had to fix the program
060753 -     code from the work on 000808. ref SDS 31 1132
060754 -
060755 -     Did all of this and SDS came up regularly.  Internet transfer op
060756 -     seems to work correctly, so this indicates everything is working.
060757 - ..
060758 - Prepared ref DIT 1 0001 to Wyane that privides a link to the
060759 - upload directory on the web.....

060775 -
060776 -
060777 -  ..
060778 - Wayne needs to transfer from his office to his home computer the
060779 - following directories....

060822 -
060823 -                fd.zip
060824 -
060825 -
060826 - In theory, Wayne can put all of these files in a single file, sd.zip,
060827 - but doesn't hurt to make this two steps so there is less chance of a
060828 - big file coming unraveled.
060829 -
060830 -
060831 - These files can be uploaded to the web, and downloaded to his home
060832 - computer.  Install as follows....

060874 - After installation, we have to configure wsftp pro so the upload
060875 - directories are in sync.
060876 -
060877 - We also have to set up an application icon on the w98 task bar to
060878 - launch SDS, and Wspftpro, which is different from w2k.
060879 -
060880 - Need to explain how to transfer SDS stuff between home and work.

0612 - 2120 called Wayne
0613 -
061301 - Left voice mail about the letter to him.
061302 -
061303 - I attached this record to the email, then removed it from the web to
061304 - avoid the chance of people who are scouring the SDS record on the
061305 - web, from getting instructions on downloading SDS code.
061306 -
061307 - Explained to Wayne in the voice mail, that we need to talk on the
061308 - phone to complete installation.
