 Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of registering?

There are many benefits for paying the registration fee for Vulcan Notes. Click here to view them.

Can I give a copy of this program to a friend of mine?

Yes. In fact, this is the idea of Shareware. Just click on Help | Copy Program for a Friend and select to which floppy disk you want to copy (A: or B:). Vulcan Notes will then copy the unregistered version to the specified floppy drive.

Note: Please remind your friend that he/she is required to register Vulcan Notes after the 30 day trial period.

Do I need a runtime module like VBRUN300.DLL to run Vulcan Notes?

No. The files in the ZIP file you downloaded is all you need.

Does Vulcan Notes write to any Windows initialization files (e.g.: WIN.INI)?

No. Nothing will be written to any of the standard Windows INI files.

Does Vulcan Notes copy any files to the Windows SYSTEM directory?

Yes. One file (CTL3DV2.DLL) will be copied to your Windows SYSTEM directory (if it doesn't already exist). This file is used by several other applications to produce a 3D effect and should not be removed.

Yes, a version for Windows 95 will be available sometime in March 1996.

Yes. Vulcan Notes has been tested extensively on Windows 95, and performed at least equally well compared to running it under Windows 3.1.

Upgrades to Windows 95 will be US$ 9.95 + S/H. This special offer is available to registered users of Vulcan Notes 1.x only.


 What is it? What can I use it for?

Vulcan Notes is the perfect tool to

  get,

  keep

all these important messages that you have lost too many times before. Each Note Window is equivalent to a "yellow sticky note" which probably cover your desk right now.

Of course, your notes have been saved automatically and will appear in the same spot on your screen when you run Vulcan Notes the next time.

What could you use Vulcan Notes for?

  Seven Notes for ToDos Sunday through Saturday.

  Take quick notes during a phone conversation.

  Get reminded of appointments via the alarm feature (Pro version only).

 How it Works!

Vulcan Notes was designed to give you easy access to everyday information and to minimize your input. Basically you have two types of windows:

  The main window is the control center from where you can access and manipulate each note.

  The note window(s) where you actually type in the text you want to remember.

Each note window is the equivalent to one 'yellow sticky note' on your desk. While you could use just one note containing numerous events, you would probably want to store each event in a separate note window. Whenever you alter the first line of text on a note you will see this line change in the listing on the main window. Therefore, you are saving the time, space and effort of typing a 'topic header' for each note.

Once you have finished typing a note you may want to set an alarm (date & time to be remembered) for this note. Once set,  Vulcan Notes will display this note at the specified date & time (even if the application is minimized or not visible on the screen).

Note: This feature is only available in the registered Pro version.
