121576 - and linked to list in the record on 010207. ref SDS 8 EYH4  Cited

121901 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Einar reporting he received the letter
121902 - this morning, ref DIT 1 0001 on receiving the retail version of w2k.
121903 - This accomplishes Einar's planning on 010207. ref SDS 8 6F6F
121904 -
121905 - Einar's letter today displayed in Java, and therefore took a lot of
121906 - extra time to convert into text, so it can be integrated into the SDS
121907 - record for knowledge management.
121908 -
121909 -      Microsoft might consider how to provide correspondence that
121910 -      people can manage either through a convenient Java-like tool,
121911 -      and, also, render in text for efficient management.
121912 -      ..
121913 -      Possibly there is a setting that can be disclosed that
121914 -      accomplishes this objective.
121915 - ..
121916 - Einar answers the question in our letter today. ref DIT 1 7I7F,
121917 - He confirms that we received the Microsoft full version of w2k, and
121918 - can install it, based on his review of the record, ref DRT 1 0001,
121919 - based on review of the record above. ref SDS 0 WJ3O
121920 - ..
121921 - Einar requests feedback on results of solving the dosx problem
121922 - that reduces performance of RAM for SDS. ref DRT 1 JW5N  This confirms

121924 - on the other two issues in the letter. ref DIT 1 ZO8L
121925 -
121926 -      Customer issues can be resolved quickly at minimum cost by
121927 -      addressing the full scope pending matters.
121928 -
121929 -      What is the work plan, and where is progress on the other two
121930 -      issues, while the customer is addressing the dosx problem?
121931 -
121932 -      For example the work plan to install the "full" version of w2k
121933 -      and configure workstation c13 is shown in the record. ref SDS 11

121939 -      Does Microsoft have a similar procedure on pending issues,
121940 -      so progress is tracked and issues resolved before a crisis
121941 -      arises?
