A program that allows you to take random notes and also helps you organize the vast amount of random information that you collect every day. A program where you can find your notes on any subject easily, a program that allows you to keep large bodies of text, related or unrelated, grouped into folders of your choice. Well, look no more. You have arrived! WhizNotes can do all that for you. What's more, WhizNotes even lets you link your notes by hypertext links by a simple drag and drop. The advantage of hypertext is that you can jump from note to note by double-clicking on these links. In WhizNotes' hypertext scheme, any note which is not already open is opened for you and if the note is contained in another folder, even that folder is opened for you. AND THAT IS NOT ALL! WhizNotes is also a Help authoring system. Turn your notes into "WINDOWS hypertext help" easily and effortlessly. Combine this with the ability to give long names to the notes and the folders, and you will be delighted with how much you can accomplish with WhizNotes. Start using WhizNotes and say goodbye to your journals, logs and diaries. No restrictions. You can enter free-format text in your notes and search for it in free-format as well. This demo also includes a customizable right-click menu for smart template insertion. This not only makes it easy to code help authoring markers in your help topics but is also useful as a general text insertion tool. An example menu for HTML authoring is also provided. To get a quick demo of help generation, open and compile the Sample WZN folder SAMPLHLP.WZN. Also see "Introduction" and other introductory topics in online help. If you don't have the help compiler, please look at online help to see how you can download one. ===== Product Information ============================== Product: WhizNotes "HyperText Organizer & Help Generator" Version: 3.02 Version Date: 1-Oct-1997 Product Type: Software Distribution: Any distribution of this version without explicit permission of Ensign Systems is prohibited.
