101201 - Follow up ref SDS 9 line 63.
101202 - ..
101203 - Added new macro so User can specify the drive where various
101204 - types of information is stored.

1016 -
101601 - We need to let Users configure where their files are stored, to access
101602 - files from SDS records that are created on one system and then moved
101603 - to another system that has the date files stored differently.
101604 - ..
101605 - This only comes up with Referenced files because they say what
101606 - drive is being used.

102001 - Line 530, ref OF 4 2414, -label lp1, about 70 lines below, this is
102002 - where code is located that at one time set everything to C:.  I
102003 - unplugged it because we wound up with users having their data on other
102004 - drives.
102005 -
102006 - Today I am going to let users have data on a default drive and then
102007 - specify where their data files are located.

102009 -     [See work on 971217 eliminating 015 method. ref SDS 11 1159]
102010 - ..
102011 - This code just tells me were the code is located in macro file
102012 - 000002 that sets where the files are entered.
102013 -
102014 -
102015 - Line 170, ref OF 4 2337, -label del015, added code to delete from the
102016 - list of sd 03 files to be converted to c: drive, the new macro sd 03
102017 - 015, since I made a special version this evening that pre-sets that
102018 - file in g: sd 51 03 015, so it does not have to be converted by the
102019 - 0815 operation.

102402 - to get data files drive values from a configuration file.
102403 -
102404 - Will use globals 298 for g: drive, personal, and will use 299 for f:
102405 - drive, which is everything else.

102801 - Line 2750 -label dir7y, this is where I had to unplug more of
102802 - the Schedule task description conversion code, so the commands added
102803 - above would compile.

130603 -
130604 - To implement the code above for allowing the User to access files on
130605 - their computer that are in different drives from those of transferred
130606 - SDS files, we need this system for the User to create a configuration
130607 - file that is read at start up.
130608 -
130609 - Will let 04702 call a special configuration file the user sets up and
130610 - can later change to identify where the SDS records are stored and
130611 - where the data files are stored.
130612 -
130613 - The routines that open SDS records, will just read the stored
130614 - constant drive spec, and substitute it for the source drive.
130615 - ..
130616 - We can do this for files listed under other files, and can let
130617 - the User specify where they are stored.

131004 -
131005 -    Put this file in g: sd 51 03, with defaults set to c: drive,
131006 -    because the User program is always set to c:
131007 -
131008 -    Users can then configure it any way they want.
