Short: "PostIt Note" type reminder
StickIt2, the Amiga sticky note reminder program
************************************************
Copyright (C) 1993,1994 Andy Dean.
Welcome to StickIt2, the Amiga sticky note reminder program!
Requirements
************
StickIt2 will run on any Amiga equipped with AmigaDos 2.04 and
above. It requires no third-party libraries, and will work with the
non-scalable diskfont library (version 36) although you won't get
scalable fonts then :-).
What is StickIt?
****************
StickIt2 is a replacement for the good ol' Post-It note. It allows
you to stick notes on your screen which will be displayed every time
you reboot; useful to remind you of things to do.
StickIt2 was written with a job to do... to replace all the bits of
paper I used to leave around to remind me to do something. I have tried
to write a program to do that with the minimum of fuss and with a nice
clean Workbench 2 interface. I have tried to make the program
configurable enough for each user's needs, without over-doing it.
Program features
****************
StickIt version 2.00 supports the following features:
* StickIt2 can have up to 100 notes in use at any time.
* StickIt2's notes can be in any colour.
* StickIt2's notes can use any font in any colour, size and style.
Each note can have its own font.
* StickIt2's notes are directly editable (like typing text into a
word processor).
* StickIt2's notes are resizable using a discrete hidden resize
gadget.
* StickIt2's notes can open on any public screen.
* StickIt2 runs as a commodity.
* StickIt2 uses the system clipboard.
* StickIt2 can be run from either Workbench or the CLI with full
tooltype support in both cases.
* StickIt2 has a font sensitive GadTools interface designed with the
excellent "The Designer". See Credits.
* StickIt version 2.00 is only 7k larger than StickIt-1.03.
The limits imposed by the program are:
* The note may only contain 4k of text (just over 4,000 characters).
* The title bar may only contain 128 characters of text.
