171001 - Follow up ref SDS 57 0000, ref SDS 56 0000.
171002 -
171003 - Guidance for Opt Tech Sort (OTS), ref SDS 0 G8TG, made it possible to
171004 - change from using Supersort to using OTS applied with a new control
171005 - macro for building selection specs, 061122. ref SDS 0 CE4R  Testing
171006 - shows this solved problems running SDS under Windows 2000 on newer,
171007 - high end computer systems. ref SDS 0 KX5M  OTS appears to be 13+ times
171008 - faster than Supersort for selection operations on the global pointer
171009 - file running under w2k on a Pentium 1.4 GHz, 400 MHz bus computer.
171010 - OTS and Supersort produce SDS reports at about the same speed on
171011 - Pentium III and earlier systems.  This change enables c13 to perform
171012 - SDS reports much faster than slower systems, which it was previously
171013 - unable to accomplish under Windows 2000.  Converting to a stronger
171014 - technology (Optech Sort) for sorting and selecting data, based on the
171015 - new 061122 command file processor, ref SDS 0 PSPR, enabled other
171016 - improvements.  SDS now runs faster, ref SDS 0 4Q4K, with fewer User
171017 - steps, and reduced the overall size of the code to save memory, e.g.,
171018 - 06111 has been consolidated into 06112. ref SDS 0 IF6L

171437 -
171438 -               Combined 06111 operation that formerly created reports
171439 -               on files and contacts, with original 06112 function to
171440 -               report on subjects.
171442 -                    ..
171443 -                   This change reduces time and cost for maintenance
171444 -                   and improvements, since these two operations were
171445 -                   very close, and were only seprated up until now,
171446 -                   because some selection criteria were different, and
171447 -                   it was easier 10 years ago to create separate
171448 -                   processors within the time available, at that time,
171449 -                   and it has been an effective solution, except for
171450 -                   having to duplicate changes for maintenance and
171451 -                   improvements.  The new design for 061122 that builds
171452 -                   nested selection specs as needed, explaind below,
171453 -                   eliminated the prior reason for having separate
171454 -                   processors, and so 06111 can now be eliminated.
171456 -                ..
171457 -               061122 created today makes it possible to eliminate cut
171458 -               and paste by developing report control statement op
171459 -               explained below, ref SDS 0 PSPR, that builds nested
171460 -               selection and sort specifications, as needed, rather
171461 -               than the prior method of holding them constant in the
171462 -               code. ref SDS 0 CE4R

171464 -                   This seems like it improves memory management, but
171465 -                   not sure.
171467 -                ..
171468 -               Major design improvement today reduces the time to
171469 -               produce a report by 70%.  Since many reports only take a
171470 -               few seconds, the 70% mistake was not noticable.  Testing
171471 -               the new configuration, revealed the problem, and so the
171472 -               corretion was made.

1718 - Background
1719 -
171901 - On 010202 experience showed that Supersort under w2k does not support
171902 - computers that are faster than the computers we have used until now.
171903 - Supersort runs 13 times slower on a Pentium 4 1.4 GHz processor with
171904 - 400 MHz bus, high performance, PC800 RDRAM memory, and 7200 RPM 46 GB
171905 - hard disk, than it does on either a Pentium 800 MHz or 650 MHz
171906 - processor with 100 MHz bus, slower memory, and slower hard disks.
171907 - ref SDS 43 QL5K
171909 -  ..
171910 - On 010207 notified Microsoft that w2k was not performing correctly
171911 - with high performance hardware. ref SDS 47 4F8J  On 010209 Microsoft
171912 - failed to address this issue. ref SDS 48 JF2G  On 010214 notified
171913 - Microsoft to address performance issue. ref SDS 52 DD5F

171923 - On 010222 ordered Supersort. ref SDS 55 CR4O
171925 -  ..
171926 - Work today indicates OTS solves the problem.  Configured on c13, SDS
171927 - report operations are now considerably faster than using the slower

172304 - now automatically determines this factor.

400808 -     Previously, returned an error message if User selected Contacts
400809 -     without first setting a subject.  This was needed because the code
400810 -     created a Supersort selection spec, prior to run time, and it had

400815 -     Today, however, the process is changed.  Selection is being done
400816 -     by OTS, and the specs will be created as needed.  This makes it
400817 -     possible to avoid a lot of error messages, because OTS will be

541115 -
541116 -       The original idea was to cross-reference to show documents that
541117 -       respond to other documents.  This has proven a littel
541118 -       judgemental, and time consuming, and so has not been used.
541120 -        ..
541121 -       On 981101 eliminated code that uses this feature. ref SDS 31
541122 -       5437 and ref SDS 31 4E4F, but did not revise the report headers.
541124 -        ..
541125 -       I have been keeping it around because conceptually it is
541126 -       helpful, but have not been able to develop a practical
541127 -       implementation.  For one thing it is labor intensive, because it
541128 -       requires more time to consider what responds to what, and even
541129 -       though the tools make it fast and easy to create cross
541130 -       references, doing this all day takes valuable time, relative to
541131 -       the fact that SDS records themselves show a much broader and
541132 -       more accurate history of cross references, including responses.
541134 -        ..
541135 -       Therefore, I abandoned this field today.
541137 -        ..
541138 -       This makes it possible to expand the From and To fields that
541139 -       currently are truncated.  We could also show dates in 4 year
541140 -       strings instead of 2 year.  One difficulty with this is that a 4
541141 -       year string requires separating the field, as was done for
541142 -       report screens, 06112 and 06113.  This would make the
541143 -       presentation less amenable to pattern recognition by observing a
541144 -       wide range of related fields.
541146 -        ..
541147 -       Instead for now, will expand Contact fields.
