1105 - Summary/Objective
1106 -
110601 - Follow up ref SDS 4 0000. ref SDS 2 0000.
110602 -
110603 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Gary responding to the letter yesterday,
110604 - ref DIP 1 0001, on maintaining the SDS record set of code, ref SDS 4
110605 - EK8R, and saying....
110606 -
110607 -     I have been sending you the transfers I make for myself. I will go
110608 -     back to making one for you separately, and correct the problems
110609 -     you note.
110611 -  ..
110612 - Received ref DRT 2 0001 from Gary, also responding to the letter
110613 - yesterday, and saying....
110614 -
110615 -     Here is the last batch file I have for transferring records to
110616 -     you. Should I change it?
110618 -  ..
110619 - This communication might work better for Gary to write this up in
110620 - SDS, and send a note referencing his SDS record with a link to the
110621 - actual batch file, since this nominally is in....
110622 -
110623 -              c: 01 02      ....or,
110624 -
110625 -              c: 01 05
110626 -
110627 - ...which are now commonly supported, per analysis yesterday.
110628 - ref SDS 4 EK9R
110630 -  ..
110631 - Gary continues explaining contents, ref DRT 2 YP7N, of batch file...
110632 -
110633 -     @echo off
110634 -     rem zip GLJDY data files <mmddyy>
110635 -     c:
110636 -     cd \09
110637 -     del *.zip
110638 -     echo Last SDS to rod %_DATE% > last_to_rod.txt
110640 -  ..
110641 - The other day, Gary said he has rigged his batch file to update from
110642 - the last date.  Is this part of the code that does it?
110644 -  ..
110645 - Can Gary comment on modifications to the batch file I use for him that
110646 - will manage the housekeeping of sequential updates? ref OF 1 0000  I
110647 - can probably figure something out with Medit, but if there is more
110648 - direct code using batch file commands, this would save time, and so
110649 - is appreciated.
110651 -  ..
110652 - Gary's listing of the batch file continues...
110653 -
110654 -     z -P -a -r -t%1 ds d:\sd\08\gljdy\*.*
110656 -  ..
110657 - Consideration might be given to adding at this point...
110658 -
110659 -     z -P -a -r -t%1 cs c:\01\02\*.*
110660 -     z -P -a -r -t%1 cs c:\01\05\*.*
110661 -
110662 - ...per planning yesterday to include these in transfers, since Gary at
110663 - this point is working on batch files and developing some new tools.
110664 - ref SDS 4 EK9R
110666 -  ..
110667 - On c: 01 02 care needs to be taken not to modify existing files
110668 - without notice, but this is not a huge deal.
110670 -  ..
110671 - Gary's listing of the batch file continues...

110677 -  ..
110678 - There is no evident need to transfer code in....
110679 -
110680 -          h:\00\07\users\gljdy\*.*
110682 -  ..
110683 - This directory on our computers is for Netscape and has nothing to do
110684 - with SDS or work files.  I just checked and notice that there is no
110685 - directory....
110686 -
110687 -          h:\00\07\users\gljdy\*.*
110688 -
110689 - ...which means Gary is not actually transferring anything.  Suspect
110690 - Gary got this by modifying one of our transfer batch files, something
110691 - like...
110692 -
110693 -         c: 01 02 t12.bat
110694 -
110695 - ...which has a transfer command for Netscape so we can maintain email
110696 - and other operational files between work stations.  In any case,
110697 - transfers from Gary to Rod do not need h: 00 07.
110699 -  ..

110710 -
110711 -             g:\08\*.*
110712 -
110713 - ...because these are personal files.
