1109 - Summary/Objective
1110 -
111001 - Follow up ref SDS 12 1058.
111002 -
111003 - Began change to SDS to support denying access to SDS records marked as
111004 - private. Further consideration seems to indicate this change is not
111005 - needed, because the capability seems to be already there.
111006 -
111007 - Increased the number of lines for headlines from 3 to 4 for citations.

111402 -
111403 - Follow up ref SDS 12 2394.
111404 -
111405 - We have developed Alt F10 on the record description as a way to avoid
111406 - having an entire record published on the Web site. ref SDS 8 2480  We
111407 - can suppress access to a linked record. ref SDS 12 6313  This was
111408 - initially considered on 980315. ref SDS 9 0903
111409 -
111410 - Today we add a feature for links to be created with the character
111411 - string that prohibits access on the Internet by using Sds instead of
111412 - SDS, per ref SDS 12 6313.
111413 -
111414 - Actually, I am not sure why we need this.  The key to avoiding access
111415 - is not publishing a record.  The current code prevents publication on
111416 - the Web. ref SDS 12 2394
111417 -
111418 - I guess, this is for a future where other people are using the SDS
111419 - program, which is beginning to seem like a more remote possibility.
111420 - But in any case this feature permits the user access to the records,
111421 - but not anyone else.
111422 -
111423 - Actually, we should already have this feature based on the user ID.
111424 -
111425 - I unplugged this.

150806 - Line 1850, ref OF 3 3110, -label arcvR2 about 20 lines below, added
150807 - code for the linking operation to see if this is a "private" record
150808 - and if so to set a flag using setgbl 232 9.
150809 -
150810 - Line 1950, ref OF 3 3597, -label fTyp, if the citation type is an SDS
150811 - record, then we get the new flag value and if it is a private record
150812 - the citation type is set to...
150813 -
150814 -                     Sds

150816 -    ...per prior work on 980324. ref SDS 12 6313
150817 -
150818 - After creating this code, I disconnected it to save compiler space and
150819 - because it seems redundant.  If it turns out we need it we can plug it
150820 - back in and jazz it up.

170505 - Did not make any changes to this, but if we later adopt the changes
170506 - created today above, ref SDS 0 1331, then this code has to be changed
170507 - to apply a similar structure of converting private records to Sds,
