110701 - Follow up ref SDS 12 0000
110702 -
110703 - Gary found an issue with the interim backup op that needs refinement
110704 - to support other uses who have data on the f drive that does not need
110705 - interim backup; made the modification he suggests. ref SDS 0 VK8N  He
110706 - also points out that the process of converting anchors in SDS results
110707 - in treating the ^ symbol in an SDS record as an anchor, ref SDS 0
110708 - 5C6F, so changed the way anchors are converted into HTML to enable the
110709 - ^ symbol to display in SDS records in a browser. ref SDS 0 Y76N
110710 -
110711 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 responding to Gary's letters, and linked to
110712 - this record showing performance of the work.

111104 -
111105 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary reporting....
111106 -
111107 -     In c:\sd\01\Backup.bat, which controls the interim backup, please
111108 -     make the following change near line 72:
111109 -
111110 -     f: *.*   All work files
111111 -
111112 -     glj -- *only* SDS directories
111113 -
111114 -     z -P -a -a+ -r -t11062002 F071054 f:\??\*.*
111115 -
111116 -      ..
111117 -     As currently written, the program zip *all* changed files on F:.
111118 -     In my case this created a 43MB file today because it includes
111119 -     directories other than the SDS working directories. When I removed
111120 -     the unwanted files, the zip shrank to 1K.
111121 -
111122 -  ..
111123 - Line 90, ref OF 6 RF4O, in c: sd 01 backup.bat
111124 -
111125 -      z -P -a -a+ -r -t11192002 F235346 f:\*.*
111126 -
111127 -       Unplug this because it gets everything on f, and only 2 postion
111128 -       directores used for SDS stuff.
111129 -
111130 -    z -P -a -a+ -r -t11192002 F235346 f:\??\*.*
111131 -
111132 -       Made this change per Gary's suggestion, explained above.
111133 -       ref SDS 0 0001
111134 -
111135 -       Actually decided to add additional zip lines, one for each
111136 -       specific working file directory, because when then the program
111137 -       is run on he c: drive, people may a lot of other directories
111138 -       besides those for projects, and small jobs.

210809 -    4JBQ,
210810 -
210811 -    I *think* the intent was 10^00101<enter> where the caret symbol on
210812 -    the "6" key ... ref DRT 2 NX5O
210813 -
210814 -    The conversion created an anchor starting at the caret.
210815 -
210816 -    I worked it out from the help files (indexed by keynote).
210817 -    ref DRT 2 JX6K

210819 -  ..
210820 - The record on 021120 explains the carot symbol is entered with the 6
210821 - key, ref SDS 12 4JBQ, so not sure why another source was needed, but
210822 - it is helpful to have a lot of ways to look things up.

210826 -
210827 -    I will look at importing the update later.  I haven't saved the
210828 -    Subject Index data I want yet, and I want to do that first.
210829 -    ref DRT 2 WX6N
210830 -
210831 - The record on 000724 shows work on using ^ as a temporary alternate
210832 - symbol to convert < for anchors. ref SDS 5 0618

210835 - The design objective is to enable people to use all standard editing

210850 - 5S4J  This work modified the earlier work on handling conversion of
210851 - anchor symbols.  Today, I changed this again to use char 235 instead
210852 - of char 94, ^, so we do not have to start chasing our tail with
210853 - different symbols. ref SDS 11 JM4N
