111210 - MB, on 010502. ref SDS 39 QR6F
111211 - ..
111212 - Need to configure tools to transfer records via web site, to

111605 - Wayne submitted on 010211. ref SDS 27 DW3N
111606 -
111607 - Glancing through some of the references shows a sense of the changes.
111608 - There is very little that impacts use of the program.  The biggest
111609 - change is in setting up to write a letter.  It is actually simpler,
111610 - but, because it is different, may need to talk about it, when Wayne
111611 - has time.
111612 -
111613 -     010220  Organization telephone number added to address for sending
111614 -     a letter; conforms to conventional letterhead format. ref SDS 30

111626 -     010301  Changed SDS reports from using Supersort to OptTech Sort.
111627 -     ref SDS 32 0001  This enables SDS to run on high-end Pentium 4

111631 -     use the Internet for delivering mail with links. ref SDS 33 0001
111632 -
111633 -         This streamlines setting up to write a letter, but is slightly
111634 -         different.  We can talke about it when Wayne has time.
111635 -
111636 -     010314  Changed operation of locating specific lines in a file
111637 -     using F1 F4 and Shift F4, so the target line is positioned in the

111646 -     010328  Updated process of selecting SDS records based on subject
111647 -     and converting to HTML for publication on the web. ref SDS 36 0001
111648 -
111649 -          There is no change in using the program.
