Version 1.01 ============ Version 1.01 introduced two additional cursor control functions: Press Ctrl-Home to move the cursor to the upper left corner of the screen. Press Ctrl-End to move the cursor to the end of the current note. Version 1.1 =========== Version 1.1 introduced the Renumber Note function. This function allows you to change the order of your notes. Press Ctrl-F3 to renumber the current note. The cursor will move next to "Note #". Type the new number of the current note, then press . The current note will be renumbered, and other notes will be renumbered according to the sequence you selected. Since you are rearranging existing notes, the number you enter must be the number of an existing note. [Version 2.0 replaced this function with "Move Note".] Version 1.2 =========== Version 1.2 expanded the hotkey selections to include F11 and F12 combinations, and fixed the problem with the hotkey program in version 1.1. Registered copies display "Registered" on the lower right corner of the screen. Version 1.3 =========== Version 1.3 added support for monochrome laptops that have a color card. Type NOTEWARE /M to tell NoteWare that your laptop has a monochrome screen. The Ctrl-left and Ctrl-right arrows now move the cursor one word at a time. Ctrl-PgUp moves to the first note; Ctrl-PgDn moves to the last. Major static "snow" on CGA's is suppressed. Version 1.4 =========== PRINTNW, a separate utility program to print notes, was added in version 1.4. It allows you to choose one, many, or all notes to print, on the printer number of your choice. You can choose the number of lines per page, whether to include the time & date of the printing, and whether each note should be printed on a separate page. Version 1.5 =========== The function key F6 (Note #) was changed to Index. The Index displays the first line of text of each of your notes. If you have more notes than can fit on your screen, use the PgDn and PgUp keys to scroll through the Index. You select a note by moving the highlight bar to the desired note, and pressing . This is a very simple method and is recommended. Version 1.51 ============ Version 1.51 improved the searching functions. The search now begins at the current cursor location in the current note. The search text is preserved each time you perform a search. To search for the next occurrence of the same string, press F7 and then . Version 1.6 =========== Version 1.6 introduced the Block Bright and Block Dim features. Press F9 to anchor one corner of the block of text. The lower menu displays the menu for the alt-key combinations. Move the cursor to the other corner of the block of text and select one of the block operations. The brightness of the blocked text can be changed to either dim or bright. Version 1.7 =========== Version 1.7 introduced cut and paste. A block of text can be cut and then optionally pasted to the same note or to a different note. Text is also available for pasting when the F3 key has been used to delete a line of text. Version 1.8 =========== Version 1.8 added the ability to copy the blocked text. The blocked text can be pasted at the current cursor location using the F4 key. Version 1.8 also added the feature of saving a block of text to a file. If the file exists, you will be asked whether to overwrite it or append to it. Version 1.81 ============ Version 1.81 enabled the Block Print function. Choose the "Save to File" option on the alt-key menu, then enter LPT1 (or LPT2 etc.) as the filename. Version 1.9 =========== Version 1.9 shows the current cursor coordinates on line 24 of the screen. Version 2.0 =========== Version 2.0 introduced the Block Export feature. This enables you to pop up NoteWare over your word processor, edit and block text, then export it directly into the word processing document. Version 2.0 changed the "File Load" function to "View Dir/File". The file can be viewed, searched, and scrolled using the PgUp, PgDn, up-arrow and down-arrow keys. You can then capture the screenful of text into a note by pressing C (Capture). You can export a block of text from the file directly to the current program by pressing E. Or press Esc to return to your note. After you have viewed a file, you can resume viewing it by pressing Ctrl-R. Perhaps you don't know the exact filename when you have pressed Ctrl-V. You may type the DOS wildcards (* and ?) as part of the filename. For instance, type C:\*.* to see all the files and directories in your root directory on drive C. NoteWare will display dilenames in a five-column format. Move the highlight bar to the desired file or directory, then press . The F8 Capture key now asks "F to save file, I imports text into current note, to create a note, or Esc". If you press F, NoteWare will ask you to type the name of the file that will receive the screen image. If you press I, you can block off the text that you want to import into the current note. Press to capture the entire screen into a new note. Note that all 25 lines will be captured if you choose F (filename); a maximum of 23 lines can be captured with the other two options. The Note number is no longer displayed. Use the F6 Index function or the PgUp and PgDn keys to select notes. You rearrange the order of your notes by pressing Ctrl-M (Move Note) and then using the PgUp/PgDn keys to select the new location for the note. All Ctrl-key and Alt-key combinations have been changed to use letters rather than function keys. The letters are easier to remember and also easier to press. Version 2.1 =========== Version 2.1 introduced the option to insert the current date and time at the cursor location. Press Ctrl-D to insert the date. Press Ctrl-T to insert the time. The format of the time is either 24 hour or AM/PM. To change the format, type OPTIONS at the C: prompt before loading NoteWare. This version introduced a new format for the Help at the bottom of the screen. The choices are highlighted in red on color screens and reverse video on monochrome. Version 2.1 introduced the Directory function. Press F10 to see a list of files in the current directory. Use the cursor arrows to move the highlight bar to the desired file. The file's date, time, and size are displayed in the lower left of the screen. Press E to export the name of the highlighted file (including the drive letter and directory). Press to view the file -- the Help line will display options to search, capture, and freeze the file. This version also enhanced the PRINTNW program. Although the default is still LPT1, you can change this to any filename, including a disk file. If you choose a filename that does not start with the letters LPT, the other settings (lines-per-page, date & time, etc.) will be ignored. The settings for filename, lines-per-page, date & time, and 1-page-per-note can now be saved to disk by pressing F9. Version 2.2 =========== Version 2.2 introduced the Column Block function. The Column Block function allows you to block a rectangular area of the screen. When you begin a Block operation, NoteWare will ask if you wish to use Column Block mode. This applies to Block (F9), import to current note (F8), and exporting while viewing a file (Ctrl-V). Version 2.2 also added the Clean function, which erases non-printable characters from the current note. Press Ctrl-C to clean up all ASCII characters less than 32 or greater than 127 from the current note. This is useful when you have captured a screen containing many "garbage" or line-drawing characters. Version 3.0 =========== Version 3.0 introduces the Form feature. Press Ctrl-F to create a new note and load the file NOTEWARE.FRM into it. The sample version of NOTEWARE.FRM is a phone message pad. When filling out a form, press TAB to move the cursor to the beginning of the next field. Ctrl-F changes NoteWare to Typeover mode. We've included an ASCII chart, a monthly calendar, a phone message form, a list of toll-free numbers, and a WordPerfect template as sample notes in version 3.0. Additional monthly calendars are provided as ASCII files. You can load them by pressing F10 (Dir), highlighting the desired month, and pressing C (Capture). Typeover mode is automatically enabled as soon as you begin making an entry in the calendar. Version 3.0 introduces the Original function. Press Ctrl O to read the original version of the current note from disk. Similar to an "Undo" function, this is useful if you've massacred the current note and want to bring it back to its unedited state. This version also introduces the Insert function. Press Ctrl I to insert a blank note after the current one. Use this option when you want to add a new note at a specific location. Version 3.0 introduces the non-TSR version of NoteWare. This version is helpful if you have a TSR conflict with NoteWare. Type NOTEWARE.EXE at the DOS prompt to use NoteWare as an application program without the pop-up capability. NOTEWARE.EXE is also the version of NoteWare accessed by Microsoft Windows. An icon and a PIF file is included for use in Windows. The default hotkey has been changed to Ctrl-spacebar. The previous hotkey, Alt-spacebar, conflicted with Windows. Use the HOTKEY program to change it back to Alt-spacebar if you desire. This version introduces SETUP, a program to install NoteWare in its own Program Manager group in Windows. NoteWare now prevents text from falling off the bottom of a note. You will hear a short beep instead, and no text is inserted or moved. You will also hear the beep if you attempt to type in the extreme lower right corner of the screen. If this happens, you may wish to press Ctrl I to insert a new note after the current one. Version 3.0 incorporates programming changes that allow more than one copy of NoteWare to be in memory at the same time. To do this, copy NOTEWARE.DTA, NOTEWARE.COM, NOTEWARE.EXE and HOTKEY.COM into a second directory, change the hotkey, and load NoteWare. This is useful if you want to separate certain notes (phone messages, for instance) from the others. The first entry in the Index is now the NoteWare Welcome Screen. Version 3.0A ============ Version 3.0A eliminated the "Share Violation" error message which occurred when NoteWare was accessed from both DOS and Windows after SHARE.EXE has been loaded. This version also allows importing characters whose ASCII value is greater than 127. Version 3.0B ============ Version 3.0B fixes the following problem in the Index (F6) option: When the last "page" of the Index had only one note, the and keys would not move to that page. The order form now has the correct toll-free number: 800-272-1377. This version introduces our fax line: 714-240-9599. The included monthly calendars range from January to August, 1994.
