Welcome to NetPad - The Web Notepad for Thinking People!!!
Version 2.4 - May 28, 1998
Welcome to version 2.4, now including MiniPad, the world's
smallest and handiest notepad tool for Web users!
NetPad is a handy notepad tool for Internet users, or anyone
who spends a lot of time in front of a computer. NetPad has
the unique ability to mix your own notes and ideas with text
and links you get from the Web. Use it to jot down notes and
ideas, keep track of your recipes, plan your next holiday, put
together the lyrics for your next album, collect data for your
research, or simply store your Web bookmarks.

-- Please Register --
We'd link to encourage you to register once you've tried out NetPad
by going to our Web site at www.flyingobjects.com. In addition to making
your copy legal and helping to support development of new versions
of the package, registration unlocks the ability to create your own
idea links and prevents the program from expiring. The NetPad License
Agreement (see below) allows you to use the package for 90 days for
evaluation before paying the license fee, currently set at US$19.95.
-- Installing NetPad --
NetPad is very simple to install (and uninstall). The installation
procedure depends upon whether you downloaded the zipped version
(NetPad.zip, or something similar) or the self-extracting version
(NetPadSE.exe, or similar).
-->If you have NetPadSE.exe (or anything.exe): Just run the program.
It will unpack the required files and start the main installer.
-->If you have NetPad.zip (or anything.zip): Use a zip-compatible
dearchiver to unpack the zip file into any convenient folder on your
system. We recommend creating a new folder for this purpose so that
you can easily delete the installer files when you're done. Once the
files are unzipped, just run the Setup.exe application.
Regardless of which method you used to download NetPad, the rest of
the installation is the same. Once the installation is complete,
you can delete all the files that you downloaded and/or unzipped.
They are no longer required. The installer creates a file called
netpad_install_log.txt on your C: drive which lists the operations
it performed. If you do not experience any problems, this file
can be safely deleted.
IN CASE OF INSTALLATION PROBLEMS - Please visit the NetPad Support
page on our Web site at: http://www.flyingobjects.com or send an
email to tech@flyingobjects.com. Please attach a copy of the file
c:\netpad_install_log.txt that the installer generates when installing.
-- Documentation --
Documentation on using NetPad is online in the package under the NetPad
Help folder. There is additional documentation available on our Web
site at: http://www.flyingobjects.com.
-- Contacting Us --
If you have any problems, questions, suggestions, comments or whatever,
we can be reached by email at flying@flyingobjects.com. We'll talk
to anyone, but we're especially eager to please people who have registered
their copy! If you are one of these fine souls, please note your access
code in any correspondence.
-- Uninstalling NetPad --
To uninstall NetPad, simply double-click on the Uninstaller file in
the NetPad folder. This will remove all items installed by the
initial installation and any other files in the NetPad folder.
IMPORTANT!!!! If you want to keep any idea text created with NetPad
before uninstalling, make a text file outside the NetPad folder.
Everything in the NetPad folder will be deleted!!!
NOTE: For reasons we have not been able to determine yet, the NetPad
uninstaller will not always remove the NetPad folder after all files
have been deleted. To complete uninstallation, just drag the NetPad
folder to the Recycle Bin. All other items have been deleted.
