1407 - Summary/Objective
1408 -
140801 - Follow up ref SDS 8 0000, ref SDS 6 0000.
140813 -  ..
140814 - Wayne was recently assigned to manage a claim for BLM that involves
140815 - about 18K documents.  Experience on the Broadwater Dam matter could be
140816 - helpful, as a "case study" reported on 990316. ref SDS 2 0001
140818 -  ..
140819 - Additionally, a few months ago, we discussed getting Wayne's views on
140820 - requirements in the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) that guide
140821 - federal procurement, and in relation to SDS support for saving time
140822 - and money.  Background is listed at....

140833 - Wayne indicated SDS is not running on his home computer because the
140834 - Schedule is out of date and could not be updated for the past 8
140835 - months.
140837 -  ..
140838 - At a convenient time, we can review the procedure that avoids
140839 - archiving and instead opens the current Schedule, so it can be
140840 - manually updated.
140842 -  ..
140843 - Wayne indicated the only computers he has available all are configured
140844 - with only a c drive.  He explained the problem of buying new computers
140845 - these days that have software installed but no CDs.  This makes
140846 - partitioning the drive for SDS is a big job to get all the software
140847 - re-installed, even if someone is open to configuring a computer for
140848 - the SDS development set, which Wayne used at DNRC.
140850 -  ..
140851 - This morning, configured a set of SDS to run on c: drive for Wayne.
140853 -  ..
140854 - Opened Wayne's SDS records on the computer here and it updated his
140855 - Schedule to the current date.
140856 -
140857 -    Should modify SDS launch operation to do this automatically to
140858 -    accomodate Wayne's situation, i.e., the code should be able to keep
140859 -    extending itself until the current date is encountered, with a few
140860 -    months to spare.
140862 -  ..
140863 - Sent Wayne a letter linked to this record, which asks him about
140864 - copying his directory....
