0710 -
071001 - Follow up ref SDS 3 0000.
071002 -
071003 - Enhanced segmenting subject indexes to support maintenance, as well as
071004 - the current function to create a new segment of chained organic
071005 - structure for a particular subject.  This adds power and flexibility
071006 - for context management for changing the size of index files that grow
071007 - larger than about 30K.  The new feature is transparent to the User, so
071008 - there is a single procedure to accomplish a seemingly similar task,
071009 - even though the actual steps for accomplising the task are much
071010 - different.

0713 - Evaluation
0714 -
071401 - Eliminated about 50 keystrokes with this new improvement to make
071402 - maintaining existing segmented indexes fast and easy, adding to time
071403 - and cost savings for doing knowledge work, reported on 000824.

0717 - Problem
0718 -
071801 - The goal of chained subject index segmented files is to maintain a
071802 - generally uniform size of about 200 lines or about 30K bytes on the
071803 - disk.
071805 -  ..
071806 - An example is....
071807 -
071808 -           03 00050 00 07 02 $$02
071809 -
071810 - ...which I want to maintain today by reducing from about 800 lines to
071811 - closer to 200.
071813 -  ..
071814 - Since indexes are designed to grow under the concept of flexible
071815 - structure developed on 890523, ref SDS 1 T15F, there is a continuing
071816 - need for a fast and easy method to maintain files to meet requirements
071817 - for approximately 200 lines, with the understanding that 400 - 500
071818 - lines can be handled reasonably, since Medit can actually handle up to
071819 - about 3000 lines comfortably.  The reason for the 200 line target is
071820 - that when multiple files are in memory, 3000 lines can quickly be
071821 - exceeded, therefore holding to a 200 line rule significantly reduces
071822 - the chance that opening an SI will cause a program crash.  This is not
071823 - a "good" solution for the memory problem, but works reasonably well
071824 - for the expertise and capability currently available for SDS.

0722 -
072201 - Follow up ref SDS 3 QG7I
072202 -
072203 - We might be able to multi-task the segment function to recognize when
072204 - to create a new index, and when to transfer data from one index to
072205 - another.  This would provide a single point of reference for the User
072206 - with the general objective to set the size of an index, and allow the
072207 - code to figure out the distinction and execute the appropriate set of
072208 - commands.
072210 -  ..
072211 - The rule would be that if there is another index level, then the
072212 - excess will be read into the next level using the get command, and if
072213 - there is not another another level, then it will be created with the
072214 - excess from the current index.
