- Version 1.01
- ============
- Version 1.01 introduced two additional cursor control functions:
-
- Press Ctrl-Home to move the cursor to the upper left corner of the screen.
- Press Ctrl-End to move the cursor to the end of the current note.
-
- Version 1.1
- ===========
- Version 1.1 introduced the Renumber Note function. This function
- allows you to change the order of your notes.
-
- Press Ctrl-F3 to renumber the current note. The cursor will move next
- to "Note #". Type the new number of the current note, then press
- <Enter>. The current note will be renumbered, and other notes will be
- renumbered according to the sequence you selected. Since you are
- rearranging existing notes, the number you enter must be the number
- of an existing note. [Version 2.0 replaced this function with "Move
- Note".]
-
- Version 1.2
- ===========
- Version 1.2 expanded the hotkey selections to include F11 and F12
- combinations, and fixed the problem with the hotkey program in
- version 1.1. Registered copies display "Registered" on the lower
- right corner of the screen.
-
- Version 1.3
- ===========
- Version 1.3 added support for monochrome laptops that have a color
- card. Type NOTEWARE /M to tell NoteWare that your laptop has a
- monochrome screen. The Ctrl-left and Ctrl-right arrows now move
- the cursor one word at a time. Ctrl-PgUp moves to the first
- note; Ctrl-PgDn moves to the last. Major static "snow" on CGA's
- is suppressed.
-
-
- Version 1.4
- ===========
- PRINTNW, a separate utility program to print notes, was added
- in version 1.4. It allows you to choose one, many, or
- all notes to print, on the printer number of your choice.
- You can choose the number of lines per page, whether to
- include the time & date of the printing, and whether each note
- should be printed on a separate page.
-
- Version 1.5
- ===========
- The function key F6 (Note #) was changed to Index. The Index
- displays the first line of text of each of your notes. If you have
- more notes than can fit on your screen, use the PgDn and PgUp keys
- to scroll through the Index. You select a note by moving the highlight
- bar to the desired note, and pressing <Enter>. This is a very simple
- method and is recommended.
-
- Version 1.51
- ============
- Version 1.51 improved the searching functions. The search now begins
- at the current cursor location in the current note. The search text
- is preserved each time you perform a search. To search for the next
- occurrence of the same string, press F7 and then <Enter>.
-
- Version 1.6
- ===========
- Version 1.6 introduced the Block Bright and Block Dim features. Press
- F9 to anchor one corner of the block of text. The lower menu displays the
- menu for the alt-key combinations. Move the cursor to the other corner
- of the block of text and select one of the block operations. The
- brightness of the blocked text can be changed to either dim or bright.
-
- Version 1.7
- ===========
- Version 1.7 introduced cut and paste. A block of text can be cut and
- then optionally pasted to the same note or to a different note.
- Text is also available for pasting when the F3 key has been used to
- delete a line of text.
-
- Version 1.8
- ===========
- Version 1.8 added the ability to copy the blocked text. The blocked text
- can be pasted at the current cursor location using the F4 key.
-
- Version 1.8 also added the feature of saving a block of text to a file. If
- the file exists, you will be asked whether to overwrite it or append to it.
-
- Version 1.81
- ============
- Version 1.81 enabled the Block Print function. Choose the "Save to File"
- option on the alt-key menu, then enter LPT1 (or LPT2 etc.) as the
- filename.
-
- Version 1.9
- ===========
- Version 1.9 shows the current cursor coordinates on line 24 of the screen.
-
- Version 2.0
- ===========
- Version 2.0 introduced the Block Export feature. This enables you
- to pop up NoteWare over your word processor, edit and block text,
- then export it directly into the word processing document.
-
- Version 2.0 changed the "File Load" function to "View Dir/File". The file
- can be viewed, searched, and scrolled using the PgUp, PgDn, up-arrow
- and down-arrow keys. You can then capture the screenful of text into
- a note by pressing C (Capture). You can export a block of text from
- the file directly to the current program by pressing E. Or press
- Esc to return to your note.
-
- After you have viewed a file, you can resume viewing it by pressing
- Ctrl-R.
-
- Perhaps you don't know the exact filename when you have pressed Ctrl-V.
- You may type the DOS wildcards (* and ?) as part of the filename.
- For instance, type C:\*.* to see all the files and directories
- in your root directory on drive C. NoteWare will display dilenames
- in a five-column format. Move the highlight bar to the desired
- file or directory, then press <Enter>.
-
- The F8 Capture key now asks "F to save file, I imports text into current
- note, <Enter> to create a note, or Esc". If you press F, NoteWare will
- ask you to type the name of the file that will receive the screen image.
- If you press I, you can block off the text that you want to import
- into the current note. Press <Enter> to capture the entire screen
- into a new note. Note that all 25 lines will be captured if you choose
- F (filename); a maximum of 23 lines can be captured with the other two
- options.
-
- The Note number is no longer displayed. Use the F6 Index function or
- the PgUp and PgDn keys to select notes. You rearrange the order of your
- notes by pressing Ctrl-M (Move Note) and then using the PgUp/PgDn keys
- to select the new location for the note.
-
- All Ctrl-key and Alt-key combinations have been changed to use
- letters rather than function keys. The letters are easier to remember
- and also easier to press.
-
- Version 2.1
- ===========
- Version 2.1 introduced the option to insert the current date and time
- at the cursor location. Press Ctrl-D to insert the date. Press Ctrl-T
- to insert the time. The format of the time is either 24 hour or AM/PM.
- To change the format, type OPTIONS at the C: prompt before loading NoteWare.
-
- This version introduced a new format for the Help at the bottom of the
- screen. The choices are highlighted in red on color screens and
- reverse video on monochrome.
-
- Version 2.1 introduced the Directory function. Press F10 to see
- a list of files in the current directory. Use the cursor arrows to
- move the highlight bar to the desired file. The file's date, time,
- and size are displayed in the lower left of the screen. Press E to
- export the name of the highlighted file (including the drive letter
- and directory). Press <Enter> to view the file -- the Help line will
- display options to search, capture, and freeze the file.
-
- This version also enhanced the PRINTNW program. Although the default
- is still LPT1, you can change this to any filename, including a disk
- file. If you choose a filename that does not start with the letters LPT,
- the other settings (lines-per-page, date & time, etc.) will be ignored.
-
- The settings for filename, lines-per-page, date & time, and
- 1-page-per-note can now be saved to disk by pressing F9.
-
- Version 2.2
- ===========
- Version 2.2 introduced the Column Block function. The Column Block
- function allows you to block a rectangular area of the screen. When
- you begin a Block operation, NoteWare will ask if you wish to use
- Column Block mode. This applies to Block (F9), import to current
- note (F8), and exporting while viewing a file (Ctrl-V).
-
- Version 2.2 also added the Clean function, which erases non-printable
- characters from the current note. Press Ctrl-C to clean up all ASCII
- characters less than 32 or greater than 127 from the current note.
- This is useful when you have captured a screen containing many
- "garbage" or line-drawing characters.
-
- Version 3.0
- ===========
- Version 3.0 introduces the Form feature. Press Ctrl-F to create a new
- note and load the file NOTEWARE.FRM into it. The sample version of
- NOTEWARE.FRM is a phone message pad. When filling out a form, press
- TAB to move the cursor to the beginning of the next field. Ctrl-F
- changes NoteWare to Typeover mode.
-
- We've included an ASCII chart, a monthly calendar, a phone message
- form, a list of toll-free numbers, and a WordPerfect template as
- sample notes in version 3.0. Additional monthly calendars are
- provided as ASCII files. You can load them by pressing F10 (Dir),
- highlighting the desired month, and pressing C (Capture). Typeover
- mode is automatically enabled as soon as you begin making an
- entry in the calendar.
-
- Version 3.0 introduces the Original function. Press Ctrl O to read the
- original version of the current note from disk. Similar to an "Undo"
- function, this is useful if you've massacred the current note and
- want to bring it back to its unedited state.
-
- This version also introduces the Insert function. Press Ctrl I to
- insert a blank note after the current one. Use this option when you
- want to add a new note at a specific location.
-
- Version 3.0 introduces the non-TSR version of NoteWare. This version
- is helpful if you have a TSR conflict with NoteWare. Type NOTEWARE.EXE
- at the DOS prompt to use NoteWare as an application program without the
- pop-up capability.
-
- NOTEWARE.EXE is also the version of NoteWare accessed by Microsoft Windows.
- An icon and a PIF file is included for use in Windows.
-
- The default hotkey has been changed to Ctrl-spacebar. The previous hotkey,
- Alt-spacebar, conflicted with Windows. Use the HOTKEY program to change
- it back to Alt-spacebar if you desire.
-
- This version introduces SETUP, a program to install NoteWare in its
- own Program Manager group in Windows.
-
- NoteWare now prevents text from falling off the bottom of a note.
- You will hear a short beep instead, and no text is inserted
- or moved. You will also hear the beep if you attempt to type in the
- extreme lower right corner of the screen. If this happens, you may
- wish to press Ctrl I to insert a new note after the current one.
-
- Version 3.0 incorporates programming changes that allow more than
- one copy of NoteWare to be in memory at the same time. To do this, copy
- NOTEWARE.DTA, NOTEWARE.COM, NOTEWARE.EXE and HOTKEY.COM into a second
- directory, change the hotkey, and load NoteWare. This is useful if you
- want to separate certain notes (phone messages, for instance) from the others.
-
- The first entry in the Index is now the NoteWare Welcome Screen.
-
- Version 3.0A
- ============
- Version 3.0A eliminated the "Share Violation" error message which
- occurred when NoteWare was accessed from both DOS and Windows after
- SHARE.EXE has been loaded.
-
- This version also allows importing characters whose ASCII value is
- greater than 127.
-
-
- Version 3.0B
- ============
- Version 3.0B fixes the following problem in the Index (F6) option:
- When the last "page" of the Index had only one note, the <Down Arrow>
- and <PgDn> keys would not move to that page.
-
- The order form now has the correct toll-free number: 800-272-1377. This
- version introduces our fax line: 714-240-9599.
-
- The included monthly calendars range from January to August, 1994.
