UPDATE LOG:
12/9/2011
Incremental improvements to linkage accuracy.

Added control allowing the user to elect to compress SAS tables during linkage.  Minimizes disc
utilization.

Added control giving the user the power to specify the degree of certainty required for indirect
linkages (aka. "cross-linking" or "chaining").

When attempting to import date with user defined formats, "format not found" errors would
prevent data import.  Corrected this issue.
