050501 - Follow up ref SDS 5 0000. ref SDS 3 0000.
050502 -
050503 - Developed a new link format option for SDS records to add date and
050504 - time for conext management to links.  This complements prior work in
050505 - January that added time to forward links.

050907 - On 030628 developed function to create a forward link.  This has
050908 - proven very useful. ref SDS 2 0001
050910 -  ..
050911 - On 090206 added feature to include time for creating forward links.
050912 - ref SDS 5 UM8G  This has proven very useful for making sense of a lot
050913 - of tasks that occur on the same day.
050915 -  ..
050916 - Decided to change the format of SDS links to provide an option for
050917 - standard links to include both the date and time of the link.  This is
050918 - often used for case studies, shown in Millie's case on 061018 1003.
050919 - ref SDS 4 0001
050921 -  ..
050922 - In the past 10 years developed a manual practice of including the date
050923 - in any narrative that has a link, like the paragraph above.  This was
050924 - originally done, because occassionally, citation reference numbers in
050925 - SDS records get mixed up due to physical computer memory failure.
050926 - When memory is exceeded or gets close to being exceeded, strange
050927 - things happen.  Having the date readily available in the narrative
050928 - enables constructing the link quickly when an errors are discovered.
050930 -  ..
050931 - The manual practice of looking up records and typing dates into SDS
050932 - records yielded synergy from collateral benefits increaing memory of
050933 - key dates, which then makes finding related records faster and easier
050934 - for conversation and constructing links in other records.
050936 -  ..
050937 - Memory of dates increases undrestanding of sequence leading to
050938 - knowledge of causation.  Adding time to the date structure of links
050939 - increases command and control of the record at a lower level of
050940 - organic structure, cited in the meeting at Intel on 950927 1100.
050941 - ref SDS 1 5412
050943 -  ..
050944 - Critical factor is efficient usability so that choosing between
050945 - standard format and case study format is fast and easy.  Date and time
050946 - format creating forward links is easier to implement because the
050947 - format can be standardized.  However, backward links can occur with
050948 - multiple formats, most of which do not require date and time.
050949 - Sometimes the date is entered in the narrative separated from the
050950 - actual link by several words and lines.  Even in that case it is easy
050951 - to remove the date and time if not needed or to move to where the
050952 - narrative is appropriate.  For case studies, which have proven to be a
050953 - major part of SDS work product, having the date and time together is a
050954 - big time saver for constructing a record that routinely conveys the
050955 - context of sequence.

051017 -        In the link target file move to the top of the file to capture
051018 -        the date and time of the record.  This can be different from
051019 -        gfname, because current SDS records have not yet been defined
051020 -        to the system as archived records with an actual date and time,
051021 -        since date and time can vary through the day, depending on
051022 -        circumstances.  After capturing the date and time of the SDS
051023 -        record, open the link processor macro 01211 and move to the
051024 -        line that inserts the date time in the SDS record; post the
051025 -        date and time in the ins_text command, and then position the
051026 -        cursor to end the string with a comma and ending delimiter for
051027 -        the ins_text command.  Then switch control to the link target
051028 -        file so it can be purged.
