1610 - Summary/Objective
1611 -
161101 - Follow up ref SDS 14 1131, ref SDS 13 1111.
161102 -
161103 - Added the Action item operation to the routine that creates memos to
161104 - issue on the Web.
161105 -
161106 - Created a file with HTML that will appear moderately intelligent when
161107 - sent to someone, in that they can click on entries in the Executive
161108 - Summary, and go to that location.
161109 -
161110 -     [Changed on 971112 to put the code in 0704013 into 070405. ref SDS

1614 - Progress
1615 -   ..
161501 - Was able to accomplish the initial goal of creating a processor
161502 - that converts SDS records into a memo in HTML format that can be sent
161503 - via email and read in an HTML browser.
161504 - ..
161505 - The new processor which is a combination of 0704013 and 070405
161506 - accomplishes the goal of showing a regular email message in Eurdora
161507 - Pro, then the HTML information is below it, ref SDS 13 3588
161508 -
161509 -
161510 -
161511 - Problems:
161512 -
161513 -     1.  In Eudora the Doc Log headings in the SDS record are shown
161514 -         incorrectly.
161515 -
161516 -     2.  In Eudora there is not an apparent way to go "Back" to the
161517 -         initial source click.  This works well in Netscape, and less
161518 -         well in Microsoft Explorer.
161519 -
161520 -     3.  We do not have a good way to position printing using
161521 -         proportional fonts.  We have to switch to monospaced fonts
161522 -         using the <PRE> command.
161523 -
161524 - Improvements
161525 -
161526 -     1.  Need editing functions to automatically pop in HTML links
161527 -         between a letter and various attached reports cited in the
161528 -         document.
161529 -
161530 -     2.  Next step is to create a macro that embeds the stuff
161531 -         automatically.
161532 -
161533 -     3.  If a record has no Action Items or no Headings, then the
161534 -         record should be formatted without this stuff.
161535 -
161536 - Sent a sample to Bill at home and at work.  Sent a copy to Tom
161537 - Keesling to see if he can see it as HTML.
161538 -
161539 -    Bill called back and said he received the message as HTML mail. He
161540 -    said it looks good.

Action Items

2410 - 0704013
2411 -   ..
241101 - Line 50 -label begin, added code to call 0703 to add Action
241102 - Items to the Executive Summary, and then call 0704021 to create the
241103 - ASCII format to use for an Internet message.
241104 -
241105 - This is pretty much identical code to that for Headlines, created
241106 - yesterday. ref SDS 14 1122  We have to remove the header, since this
241107 - is appended to the Executive Summary.
241108 -
241109 - Line 915 -label 02, about 160 lines below, add code to get the Action
241110 - Item list, and then remove the header, since this is appended to the
241111 - Executive Summary file, stufq.
241112 -
241113 - Line 990 -label Prof, about 50 lines below, I changed the code to
241114 - purge this file instead of keep in memory.
241115 -
241116 -
2412 -
2413 - 0703
2414 -
241401 - Line 30, made a call to this routine in 0704013 to create the Action
241402 - Item list below the Executive Summary.
241403 -
241404 -
2415 -
2416 - 0704021
2417 -
241701 - Line 415 -label dISuBj, change the code to convert the Subject
241702 - underline on the "02" line from a linedraw char to a dash, and remove
241703 - the "02" number string.
241704 -
241705 - Line 545 -label dIheadR, about 30 lines below, change the Executive
241706 - Summary to be in the middle of the page, and place it 3 lines from the
241707 - letter head and put "From" three lines below Executive Summary.
241708 -
241709 - Line 865 -label ai1, about 50 lines below, added code to stop
241710 - processing when this is macro file 0704021 is called from within macro
241711 - file 0704013 based on global 117 = 1000, per ref OF 1 line 25.
241712 -
241713 - Line 640 -label nxyz, about 45 lines below, removed code that removes
241714 - the users name.  We were doing this for a single record memo, but now
241715 - I am thinking it is helpful to keep this, incase someone is sending
241716 - as their report the record prepared by someone else.
