Memo version 1.0 ---------------- Memo is a simple electronic note pad. It is easy to learn and use, and does not use much of your memory or CPU. Memo has three basic commands, add note, edit note and delete note. These commands can be selected from menu, buttons or by use of accelerator keys (Ctrl-a/e/d). Also, if enter is pressed or listbox line is double-clicked, then selected note will be displayed for edit or reading. The enter note dialog --------------------- has 3 input fields. The title line field is displayed in Memo's main window. In the window labelled "Memo" you can type some more details if necessary. The order field determines where in the main windows listbox the note will go. Default is at the bottom. Changing the order is useful if you would like to have the most important notes at the top of the list. You can change the order either when you add new note, or while editing old one. Naturally, all CUA commands work in the input fields. You can select text and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl- Insert), cut it to the clipboard (Shift-Delete), paste it in from the clipboard (Shift-Insert) and so on. Setup ----- From the menu you can choose "Setup" to change a few things. You can select what drive and directory Memo will use. The data file is "memo.dat". Copy this file to something else if you wish to have backup of your memos. You can also alter maximum size of headline and note in characters. You can change this after you start using Memo. The program will convert the datafile to the new record size. You should not use larger records than you need, that will waste your diskspace and Memo will require more memory while you edit a note, but it will release it when you dismiss the "Enter note" dialog box, so if you really need 10K records, then Memo will at least use your memory as efficient as possible. If you run out of space while entering a note, you can save the note (press OK button or Alt-O), go to setup and change the note size and then edit the note and add what is missing. Then after you delete the note, you can change the size back to normal. Memo's main window can be resized. That operation is also a setup operation, because Memo will "remember" the size next time it is run. Automatic startup ----------------- Add this line to C:\STARTUP.CMD: start {path\}memo.exe Next version ------------ Memo is written in my spare time. I needed something simple and efficient program that would store some notes that I could quickly browse through without eating up all my memory and slow down my compilations. If you and few others will contribute the requested $15, I will add more features to Memo, and send you the new version. Some ideas are alarm feature, a possibility to "hide" notes until some date (calendar?) and to put more information into the main window. If you have any requests (or (NO! NO!) bug to report), then go ahead, and send it with the money. Remember to include your address with your contribution.
