1404 - Summary/Objective
1405 -
140501 - Follow up ref SDS 2 0000, ref SDS 1 0000.
140502 -
140503 - Gary called and advised he put the software code on the Internet to
140504 - help Wayne get set up to use SDS.
140506 - ..
140507 - This is a test.
140508 -
140510 - ..
140511 - This is a different program from Partition commander discussed on
140512 - 040305. ref SDS 2 OV4F
140514 - ..
140515 - Gary advised he has used this program, and feels that application is
140516 - simple and direct, along the lines Gary reported on 040305.
140517 - ref SDS 2 PI5F
140519 - ..
140520 - There is a setup.exe file in the driveworks directory that takes the
140521 - user through installation, and thereafter application is self-evident
140522 - from the driveworks menus and Help system. Wayne can contact Gary if
140523 - there are any questions on installation.
140525 - ..
140526 - I put the code in the original program directory...
140527 -
140528 - g: 00 driveworks
140529 -
140530 - driveworks (main directory)
140531 -
140532 - setup.exe is in this directory
140534 - ..
140535 - driveworks.pdf (help)
140536 - driveworks1.dbd (not sure)
140537 -
140538 - ...but have not installed, because don't need it.
140540 - ..
140541 - Gary said the pdf file is Help. He thinks the dbd file is used
140542 - somehow by setup, so the user does not interact with it, but
140543 - apparently it is needed.
140545 - ..
140546 - After Wayne gets the disk partitioned, I will put the SDS program on
140547 - the web, per planning on 040305. ref SDS 1 JY41 We probably need to
140548 - talk by phone to go through and actually set things up on his computer
140549 - to run SDS, as discussed under "orientation" on 040305. ref SDS 1 A15O
140550 -
140551 - This will be a good test to run SDS on XP, per planning on 040305.
140552 - ref SDS 1 2K61
140554 - ..
140555 - Sent an email to Wayne linked to this record for guidance, with a
140556 - copy to Gary to coordinate on follow up if Wayne has questions.

140952 - 2. Wayne,
140954 - ..
140955 - 3. Seems like sometimes there is a way to "trick the system" but
140956 - maybe not in this case. By copy I am forwarding your letter to
140957 - Gary. He arrives early in the morning, and hopefully there
140958 - will be time for him to comment on this. It may turn out we'll
140959 - have to wait until you can swing for the cost of the program,
140960 - per our earlier discussion.

140962 - [On 040318 Wayne reports planning to review purhcase of

140978 - 4. Incidentally, the time of your letter is 2154, which suggests
140979 - you are still in the Mountain time zone, or something like, the
140980 - same as in Montana. I thought in Oregon, you would be in
140981 - Pacific time, where it just turned 2100.

140994 - 8. Millie is struggling hard to keep a positive attitude; went to
140995 - exercise class, as normal this evening. Just taking things a
140996 - day at a time. She got a glowing report on performance for
140997 - annual review as a legal secretary in the SF office of Nixon
140998 - Peabody, one of the nation's top law firms. All the lawyers
140999 - want Millie to work on their projects, and now this again.
141000 - Looks like we will be back in recovery mode for another year or
141001 - so. Millie is being recommended to participate in a trial for
141002 - a new treatment. Turns out, all we can really do is keep our
141003 - fingers crossed.
