0808 - Summary/Objective
0809 -
080901 - Follow up ref SDS 7 0000, ref SDS 5 0000.
080902 -
080903 - Over a span of 3 or 4 days, improved basic editing functions and
080904 - reduced code.  These changes should make SDS more stable and run
080905 - faster.
080906 -
080907 -     [On 980728 added code to enhance File Access. ref SDS 9 0000  This
080908 -     caused program to exceed compile segment limit. Below, I unplugged
080909 -     a user safety test for justify, in order to eliminate compile
080910 -     error message. ref SDS 0 1908]
080911 -
080912 - Consolidated code for macro 49 to justify paragraphs and eliminated
080913 - using cut file, ref SDS 0 0809, similar to changes for Contacts on
080914 - 980601. ref SDS 8 1626
080915 -
080916 - Improved F7 that calls macro 54 to scroll left, set margins and place
080917 - cursor on left margin ready to begin data entry. ref SDS 0 1652  It
080918 - supports macro 49, justify, macro 34, split within margins, and macro
080919 - 36, join within margins. Initial design increased code and caused
080920 - compile failure, so had to remove -entry 50 Editor feature for double
080921 - space mode, called by F1 Alt F9, that supports legal briefing; but
080922 - was able to put it back because code consolidation recovered enough
080923 - space.
080924 -
080925 - Revised macro 34 to eliminate using cut and paste.  This recovered
080926 - enough compile segment space to permit restoring double space mode.
080927 - Finally came up with a very simple design for macro 49, justify, that
080928 - uses split and join within margins. This seems to have reduced
080929 - compiled code by about 70 lines.
080930 -
080931 - Decided to move justify for DMS, which was in 04703, to macro 54,
080932 - since most of the new code for macro 54 works for DMS "0" file.  This
080933 - added about 20 lines of compiled code.
080934 -
080935 - Revised macro 341, insert, making it simpler.  This saved about 12
080936 - lines of compiled code.
080937 -
080938 - In total we seem to have saved about 60 lines of compiled code and
080939 - eliminated use of the cut file, which greatly improves memory
080940 - management.

081302 - 000002  A9 Justify Macro 49 Eliminate using Cut and Paste
081303 -
081304 - Follow up ref SDS 6 0000.
081305 -
081306 - Line 150, ref OF 3 4413, -entry 49, initially eliminated process of
081307 - moving text into cut file to justify it with JJ command, and then move
081308 - it back to the target file.  Created special code to capture line
081309 - numbers and restore them after JJ is called, so that JJ would not
081310 - commingle line numbers with text.
081311 -
081312 - Line 130, ref OF 3 2149, continue using subroutine -gosub bPmgNs in
081313 - macro 54 to set margins for justify. ref OF 3 5161  Macro 54 is
081314 - modified below. ref SDS 0 1652
081315 - ..
081316 - After I got the first method to work, I considered Morris'
081317 - comment the other day that justify can be done without the JJ command.
081318 -
081319 - Up to now, my focus has been on how to implement JJ, since that seemed
081320 - like the most direct way to get the job done.  Consideration of the
081321 - design concept, however, led to a new algorithm to justify without JJ.
081322 - This turned out to eliminate need to save and restore line numbers,
081323 - and a lot of other stuff, which saved a lot of code.
081324 -
081325 - Line 200, ref OF 3 3360, -label lp2s4, the new design compares line
081326 - length with the right margin value. If the line is longer, the code
081327 - searches for the last word that is less than or equal to the right
081328 - margin and calls macro 34 to split within margins and enter the line
081329 - number field in SDS and Contact records. If the line is shorter than
081330 - the right margin, macro 36 is called to join within margins the line
081331 - blow, if there is a line below. Then the first loop is called again to
081332 - split any portion that is too long.
081333 -
081334 - Had to eliminate control to avoid justify operation on non-narrative
081335 - fields, per explanation under macro 54 below. ref SDS 0 4216
081336 -
081337 - Since we have a little extra compile space, decided to restore line
081338 - colors in code that splits within margins, per below. ref SDS 0 2647
081339 -
081340 - Line 290, ref OF 3 2147, -label appnd5, capture highlight flag in line
081341 - number field for SDS and Contact records.  The flag captured is on the
081342 - line below the line being processed.  The coding is tricky and so
081343 - requires analysis to understand it.  I found the correct process by
081344 - trial and error.
081345 -
081346 - Line 260, ref OF 3 3492, -label nxTLnE, the highlight flag is restored
081347 - to the line number field after the append operation, if it exists, and
081348 - the color is reset.
081349 -
081350 -     Found that it is necessary to process each line with the append
081351 -     loop in order to get the highlight flags fully and correctly
081352 -     restored.

081356 - DMS Editing "0" File - Change Justify from 04703 to 000002
081357 -
081358 - Line 300, ref OF 1 5043, -label bTJstfY in 04703, removed this code
081359 - because code in macro 49 in 000002 was modified to justify everything.
081360 -
081361 - Line 310, ref OF 3 2168, -label dmSjst in 000002, added code in macro
081362 - 49 to justify narrative explanations of files in the DMS "0" file.
081363 - This replaces code that was in 04703. ref OF 1 5043
081364 -
081365 -     This has fixed margins of 40 116
081366 -
081367 -     It has to work differently to determine the beginning and end of
081368 -     paragraphs, since there is not a blank line at the top of the para
081369 -     and there may not be a blank at the bottom.

110602 - 000002  F7 Left, Set Margins, Put Curosr on Left Margin, Macro 54
110603 -
110604 - Made this a better general purpose routine using F7 to scroll the
110605 - screen left and placing the cursor on the left margin after figuring
110606 - out the column of the left margin based on any outline structure that
110607 - might be encountered in SDS and in an Editor file.
110608 -
110609 - Line 560, ref OF 3 1979, -label dmsRght, moved code from 04703 for DMS
110610 - so it uses macro 54.  Was able to do this because of consolidating
110611 - other code.
110612 -
110613 - Line 90, ref OF 1 2762, -label bT015, added this call to macro 54, so
110614 - that when the file is scrolled to column 1 to the file diagnostics
110615 - field, the line number field is updated.  This makes sense, because
110616 - it avoids having to remember to update a line number field.
110617 -
110618 - Line 220, ref OF 1 1161, -label bTpf031 in 04703, unplugged special
110619 - assignments for F7 and F8 in DMS because the standard code for macro
110620 - 54 which is assigned to F7 now does this function.
110621 -
110622 - Line 650, ref OF 3 1517, -label dmsLft, added code in macro 54 to
110623 - manage the cursor in DMS file narrative field, so if the cursor is
110624 - right of the left text margin, then F7 moves the cursor to the left
110625 - margin, and if the cursor is on the left margin in the narrative
110626 - field, F7 shifts the file to the file diagnostics field.
110627 -
110628 - Line 800, ref OF 3 2817, -label nSDsi, made major revision to code for
110629 - the F7 function that calls macro 54 to set the left margin, including
110630 - evaluate the SDS outlining feature.
110631 -
110632 -  ..
110633 -
110634 - Line 860, ref OF 3 2716, -label evlM, developed alternate methods for
110635 - evaluating location in SDS records to avoid justifying control fields
110636 - and Reference, Contacts and record description.  People, especially
110637 - new users, who are nervous about using the keys, can use Alt F9 by
110638 - accident, and so would like to have code that jumps out of justify to
110639 - avoid messing up non-narrative fields.
110640 -
110641 -     The first method does strcnt 2 2 on the line number field and if
110642 -     the number is less than 4, it is not a narrative field. This
110643 -     method crashes when the line number has gone to alhpa-nums to
110644 -     exceed 100 subjects.
110645 -
110646 -     Tried using the char read macro 1182.  This works, but the overall
110647 -     code caused a compile error message that code is at or near 64K
110648 -     segment limit.
110649 -     ..
110650 -     Therefore, I unplugged the whole thing.
110651 -
110652 -     It is a limited risk, and really none at all for experienced users
110653 -     because there is no reason to use Alt F9 to justify anything but
110654 -     narrative text.
110655 -
110656 -  ..
110657 -
110658 - Line 970, ref OF 3 2974, -label outLne, changed method of establishing
110659 - an outline structure.  Will use char read macro 1182.  If last char is
110660 - a dot or a closing parenthesis and if the char above and below is a
110661 - space, then it is an outline.
110662 -
110663 -     [On 981121 modified code to consider HTML anchors as blank lines
110664 -     for purpose of evaluating outline structure. ref SDS 10 7335]

130503 -
130504 - Line 1650, ref OF 2 6311, -entry 34, Changed split within margins to
130505 - use a regular split and then shift the data from column 1 to the left
130506 - margin with immed >, instead of using cut and paste.
130507 -
130508 - Used code developed for justify to capture the line number field on
130509 - the current line, and insert on the new line created by the split
130510 - after executing the line shift to the left margin column.
130511 -    ..
130512 -    Since justify was changed to use this macro 34, it no longer
130513 -    needed code to manage the line number, so I moved that code from
130514 -    macro 54 to this macro 34. ref SDS 0 3200
130515 -
130516 - These changes saved a lot of code because we replaced a complicated
130517 - cut and paste operation with a very simple algorithm.
