NOTEBOOK
A Windows New Technology Text Editor for Huge Files
Version NT October BETA* 11/7/92 by Mark Berlinger
Dear Future Customer:
When you decide to register as a user contact Mark Berlinger by
the U. S. postal service. Messages may be sent to the author by way of
CompuServe to number 70134,3016.
Here's the deal. You send twenty dollars American or ten dollars
if you have registered as a Notebook for Windows 3.1 user, and a proper name
to the address at the end of this file. Upon receiving the consideration
you will be contacted through the same BBS or mail if desired. If you want
to use a credit card, the fee is $26 or sixteen dollars if registered to use
Notebook for Win31. The return message will contain an identification
number. Standard site license fees are $75 for 10 PCs to $300 for an
unlimited number of PCs.
To order by credit card (only) contact:
Public (software) Library with your MC, Visa, AmEx or Discover card by
calling 800-2424-PsL or 713-524-6394 or by FAX to 713-524-6398 or by
CompuServe to 71355,470 or by mail to PsL, P. O. Box 35705, Houston, TX
77235-5705. Please include your address with all orders. These numbers
are for ordering only. For information about dealer pricing, volume
discounts, site licensing or technical information contact the author.
The optional diskette service is an additional $6 or $8 overseas
cash or check to the author for shipping and handling. By credit card from
PsL the diskette service is $4 S&H or $6 S&H overseas.
The name and ID number are entered into the nagware dialog box.
The name and ID number are added to the "notebook.ini" information which
sits in the "winnt" sub-tree. Notebook will run without the nagware
display when the "ini" file contains a proper name and ID number match.
The proper name will appear in the title bar at program start.
The matching name and ID number will work in minor version number
upgrades containing minor fixes or improvements to Notebook for NT. As
always, constructive criticism is appreciated.
Notebook for New Technology in beta to be sure, is available for
the Windows NT operating system. Notebook for NT has the functionality of
Notebook 1.D for Windows 3.1. Notebook for NT single user registration fee
is twenty dollars US, or ten dollars US to registered Notebook users.
* Here are some of the features of Notebook for NT October BETA:
Word Wrap mode is available.
A Margin dialog box is where the title and page number output to the
print spooler can be controlled.
A Fonts dialog box is where screen fonts and tab-stop spacing are
selectable.
Output to the print spooler is word wrapped.
A File Print Selection command allows selected text of the document
to be sent to the print spooler. A Print Selection defect in Notebook NT
9/19/92 is fixed. The File Print All command sends the entire document to
the print spooler.
A two-sided print function halves paper demand.
Files can be opened by command line parameter association.
A File Run dialog is available.
Searches scan the entire document from the current position or from
a particular line; or just Go To a particular line number; or go to the
End of the document.
Searches can be Case sense selective.
A powerful automatic find and replace all function is available.
A bookmark function is available.
Current line and file size information can be displayed.
A File Delete function allows multiple file deletions with
confirmation.
A File Merge function that can be undone allows the insertion of a
text file anywhere into the current document.
A file extension list box is on the open, delete, merge and run
dialog boxes.
File Open and File Merge can insert carriage return line feed pairs
as necessary to format the document.
Control codes can be edited.
An Edit Select All function allows the capability of huge copy, cut,
paste, delete and undo operations.
An Initial Size and position feature allows the beginning Notebook
window size and position to be user defined.
A modeless Go To dialog box means that the dialog box stays open
during main window operations. Find and replace history is available in the
Go To dialog box. A Replace push button on the Go To dialog box allows
continuous find and replace action by push button. Set Find, Set Replace
and Line # push buttons are available on the Go To dialog box. Set Find and
Set Replace buttons allow selected text to be copied to their respective
buffers. If no text is selected, then the buttons clear the buffers. The
Line # button clears the line number entry. The find and replace buffers
can hold 63 characters each.
Binary files can be read. Text can be edited, sent to the clipboard
and pasted into a destination text file.
A Print Setup dialog allows default printer selection from the list
of installed printers.
Note: Notebook 9/19/92 for WinNT built with the July release allows
temporary modification of printer driver settings, whereas Notebook 1.D for
Win31 allows permanent modification of printer driver settings. However
trying to use the same code for Win31 and WinNT may not be possible in this
case. Print Setup dialog code of the October release is less compatible
with Win31 code than Print Setup dialog code of the July release. Although
Notebook 11/7/92 for WinNT cannot change the printer settings, Notebook is
made available asap to those who have the October release.
Client drag functions allow up to ten files to be dropped at a time.

My thanks go to the hard working folks at Microsoft. Thank you BobL
and PaulT for your continuing efforts. Also thanks to Microsoft consultant
Jeffrey Newman for the S3 driver.
Notebook can open files to the limits of available memory. This
version limits the edit control to 40 kilobytes. Therefore response to
keyboard input stays constant and not slowed by ponderous memory movement of
a huge EC. For now the vertical scroll bar range is limited to this edit
control size. To travel to the next or previous section of a document press
an enabled menu bar push button or type Ctrl+PgUp or Ctrl+PgDn. Work will
continue to eliminate the vertical scroll segmentation.
Notebook.exe is bundled with a help file called notebook.hlp,
several useful icon files including one for black and white displays called
notebkbw.ico, and this file called noteinfo. This is Notebook NT compiled
and assembled with October BETA SDK. The label "7-Nov-92" is right aligned
on the menu bar.
