280909 -    1.  Talked to Morris the other day and he indicated helpful
280910 -        collaboration with Jack.  Morris seems to be considering a
280911 -        switch from c to Java. [reported on 080104, ref SDS 22 OM6G],

280933 -         ..
280934 -    2.  Your letter on 071222 shows excellent discussion with Morris on
280935 -        essential features using granular structure of time that
280936 -        complements addressability and indexing. ref SDS 21 PA6P,

280940 -    3.  This may be premature, but went ahead and listed functions for
280941 -        each SDS feature, so we have a start on functionality when the
280942 -        time comes. [listed in record on 071222] ref SDS 21 6P9J,

380407 -    6.  Writing letters along with calls and meetings are aided by SDS.
380408 -        Conforming (editing) the "subject" to summarize a letter
380409 -        provides context, along with links to relevant sources, or
380410 -        indicating the time frame, if available.  On 010908, Jack
380411 -        mentioned there is not always enough time, ref SDS 7 YF3I, but,
380412 -        when time is available, these steps toward diligence are
380413 -        greatly leveraged using SDS.
380415 -  ..
380416 - On 071219 Gary's letter on migrating from DOS to Windows for SDS is
380417 - not easy; he responded to a letter on Open Standards and Open Sources,
380418 - which was a different subject, but the subject was not conformed to
380419 - the content of the letter. ref SDS 20 X15I

380422 - Morris mentioned on 080104 that he and Jack feel SDS capabilities can
380423 - be accomplished if Rod would use more diligence using Microsoft
380424 - programs, including Iris which Jack is developing at SRI. ref SDS 22

380428 - On 001126 Eugene Kim proposed using diligence to apply existing

750504 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Jack responding to the letter this
750505 - morning to the development team, ref DIT 1 0001, citing Morris'

750509 -    Augment NLS Seems Similar to SDS
750510 -
750511 - Jack says today...
750512 -
750513 -    1.  This seems like welcome news.  In the Java OSS arena, there are
750514 -        zillions of libraries available to you for crafting a user
750515 -        interface and backside appropriate to the features you
750516 -        expressed.  BTW: many of the gestures listed there really
750517 -        remind me of Doug's Augment system; splicing and moving lines
750518 -        around, indenting, etc. ref DRT 1 0001
750520 -  ..
750521 - Jack's recollection of Augment NLS similarties with SDS aligns with
750522 - Terry Winograd's comments on 011213.  At that time, Terry asked Doug
750523 - about differences between SDS and Augment NLS. ref SDS 9 6P4M
750524 -
750525 -            [On 080124 Morris reported progress developing SDS using
750526 -            Java development tools with Ruby on Rails. ref SDS 24 W05L
750528 -  ..
750529 - On 020128 Doug reported that Augment NLS software he and his team at
750530 - SRI developed in the 1960s did not have a system of granular indexing
750531 - for creating and managing organic structure to manage context the way
750532 - SDS does. ref SDS 10 IK96  Granular indexing is part of SDS flexible
750533 - structure explained on 890523. ref SDS 1 A25H
750535 -  ..
750536 - Jack's letter continues...
750537 -
750538 -    2.  Just be sure to select libraries that are not licensed GPL.  In
750539 -        the largest possible picture, GPL is fine so long as you don't
750540 -        mind SDS being open source with that license.  In the
750541 -        proprietary case, almost any other license, e.g.  LGPL, BSD,
750542 -        Apache, CPL,MPL, and many others will serve you well and let
750543 -        you remain proprietary if you choose. ref DRT 1 Q05M
