Introduction

Congratulations you are now the proud owner of PaperLess Software's Things To Do Today. 'What should I be doing next? ', 'When is that meeting? ', 'Where's that piece of paper?! ', 'Who was that masked man? ', 'Where am I? ', 'Who is number one? '.  Fear not, for Things To Do Today is here to help. PaperLess Software have developed this electronic note pad for the way you live your life today.  Environmentally friendly enabling you to save paper, maintain that clean desk policy, breathe fresh air and save trees.  This product is dolphin friendly.

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT WASTE PAPER.

So lets journey into the wonderful world of [image] PaperLess Software - Things To Do Today.


Dolphin

A bottle shaped furry sea creature that breathes through its head.  Said to be highly intelligent, but as yet as a species, they have produced nothing in the way of literature, music or drip-dry underwear.


PaperLess Software

A software house whose ethos is to mimic the paper environment,  but with all the benefits that a PC based solution has.  There will be no print options here!

 Definition of Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.  If you try a shareware program and continue using it, you are required to register it (as in the case of Things To Do Today).

Copyright laws apply to both shareware and retail software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below.  Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like retail authors, and the programs are of comparable quality.  (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!)  The main difference is in the method of distribution.  The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.  For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.  You should find software that suits your needs and pocket, whether it's retail or shareware. The shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee - if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.


System Requirements and Acknowledgements

This software has been fully tested on a 486 machine running both [image] Windows 3.1 and [image] WFW 3.11 at screen resolution 1024 x 768 x 256 using small fonts.  It works on my machine!  You use this product at your own risk.  By using this software you have agreed that any loss, damage to data/hardware etc. is entirely your own fault.


Installing Things To Do Today

Before you can use Things To Do Today you will have to install it. 'Earth shattering statement. '

1. 	Make [image] Windows' 'File Manager' the active window.

2. 	Create a directory on your allotted disk drive where you wish to install the software.  Suggest 'C:\TODOV2'.

3. 	Copy the 'TODOZIP.EXE' file into this directory.

4. 	Double click on the 'TODOZIP.EXE'.  This is a self extracting file that will unpack several files into the 'C:\TODOV2' directory.

5. 	Move the accompanying VBRUN300.DLL and CMDIALOG.VBX to your 'C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM' directory if you do not already have them.  If you already possess these versions of the files, then save disk space and remove them from 'C:\TODOV2'

6. 	Double click on the 'TODOV2.EXE' and away you go!


How To Use To Do

Form Movement

The To Do form can be dragged around the screen by holding down the left mouse button whilst the pointer is over the To Do pin.  Keeping the left mouse button down, simply drag the form to any location on the screen.

Menu

Clicking on the right mouse button, when on the form and NOT on To Do text, will popup a menu.  Use the left mouse button to select any option here

Minimising

As well as selecting the minimise option from the menu, using the right mouse button over the To Do pin  will minimise the form.

Text Movement

Text entered into the To Do list can be swapped with one and other.  To Do this simply hold down the left mouse button over the text you wish to move.  Keeping the left mouse button down, drag the text to the new location and 'drop' it.  The text moved will be swapped with the text in the desired location.  This feature allows you to priorities tasks by moving them into any order you wish.

Marking As Done

By clicking on the To Do column a completed task will be marked as done with a tick.

Form Sizing

Click and hold down the left mouse button whilst pointer is over the page curl.  Drag the right side of the page until the page width you require is met.  This facility is useful for displaying an entire To Do text that otherwise would only be partly shown.
