400806 - Gary says the new subject index update messed up the subjects he has
400807 - created so far.
400808 -
400809 -     This update apparently gave me too much! ref DRT 1 8X6J
400810 -
400811 -     Under Miscellaneous projects I now have a lot of SDS related stuff
400812 -     and none of the entries I have been making. Even subject levels
400813 -     with no names and new subject levels have data under them.
400814 -     ref DRT 1 S56M
400815 -
400816 -     This is certain to break something.
400817 -
400818 -      ..
400819 -     I doubt that deleting subject entries is a good idea.
400820 -
400821 -         [...below, we first verified the scope of the index files Gary
400822 -         should have, then deleted everything that is extraneous, and
400823 -         finally built back the 04 account. ref SDS 0 6L7H
400824 -
400825 -     It seems that at a minimum I need a top level subject index that
400826 -     matches all the levels underneath. ref DRT 1 008J
400827 -
400828 -     Is there some way to prevent this in the future? Should I add a
400829 -     small jobs subject of my own or add my subjects back in at the end
400830 -     and re-apply them in my records? ref DRT 1 668G
400831 -

401201 - Called Gary.
401202 -
401203 - The problem seems to be that the 04 index for Small Projects and Jobs,
401204 - was overwritten.  It was, also, significantly different from the SDS
401205 - design format.  Not clear how this occurred; possibly I sent Gary a
401206 - corrupted file, per above. ref SDS 0 6K9O
401207 -
401208 - We used the Welch records sent to Gary on 020924 as a template for the
401209 - subject index format, i.e., common elements of all index files.

401217 - inadvertant editing may have occurred in Gary's index.

401233 - Gary used F1 F2 and verified he had another level for this account.
401234 -
401235 -  ..
401236 - Gary then deleted everything eles in the 04 index, using the block
401237 - delete function Alt F7, since it does not reflect any of his work.
401238 -
401239 -  ..
401240 - We went through an exercise using the File List feature (F1 F3) in the
401241 - Editor (Morris' Medit program) to get a list of files and directories
401242 - for Gary's Subject Index user ID account.
401243 -
401244 - Gary found all of the index files he had previously created.
401245 -
401246 -  ..
401247 - He was unable to access index files he had created previously because
401248 - somehow his 04 Small Projects and Jobs index file was overwritten, and
401249 - the current $04 index did not list the new subjects he had created.
401250 -
401251 - The remedy is to make the entries again.  There are about 4 of them,
401252 - so this takes a few minutes.
401253 -
401254 -  ..
401255 - We turned off titles using...

401263 -  ..
401264 - Gary re-entered subject assignments in the 04 index file for each of
401265 - the entries in the File List for $04* shown in the Editor session.

401267 - Gary indicated this solved the problem in his letter this morning.
