1 Why .1?
Well, we _finally_ fixed the irritating save error. Now,
as long as you're a good user, no evil doule-quotes will
appear in your saved files. We also added a gang screen
(hint: look in the About... box), and created a link into
Easy Out 1.1 (or 1.0, but 1.1 is superior). Finally, the
options interface went up a notch.
-------
2 Changes to the program
.1 PaperPad 2.1 brings in abilities above and beyond
Notepad's with this release. With new features
(Undo, Search), better organization (all the options
grouped together), and better file support (up to
64k files!), this program is certainly getting there!
.2 Since creating the Help File
Due to size vs. speed vs. abilities, we had to remove the
"replace" function mentioned in the Help file. Also, there
is no "help!" button in the Options dialog box.

3 Files Included
The zip file "PPAD210.ZIP" should contain the following
files: PPAD.EXE, PPAD.HLP, README.TXT, REGISTER.TXT, COMMDLG.DLL,
CMDIALOG.VBX, THREED.VBX, TABPRO11.VBX and FILE_ID.DIZ.
PPAD.EXE is the program file, PPAD.HLP is the help file,
README.TXT is this file, REGISTER.TXT is the registration card
to send in with registration. FILE_ID.DIZ is for WWIV BBS'.
COMMDLG.DLL, CMDIALOG.VBX, THREED.VBX, and TABPRO11.VBX all go
into making a better interface for non-text typing things.
-------
4 File Locations
PPAD.EXE can be wherever you want it to be (in
\Windows, in Windows\SYSTEM, in \PPAD, etc.). PPAD.HLP
can likewise be wherever you like, but the program must
know where. COMMDLG.DLL, CMDIALOG.VBX, THREED.VBX, and
TABPRO11.VBX must be in the Windows\SYSTEM directory or
the program will not run. VBRUN300.DLL (not included)
must be in the Windows\SYSTEM directory. README.TXT can
go wherever, and so can FILE_ID.DIZ. We would request
that you keep it around. REGISTER.TXT is the registration
file, so please see section 5.
-------
5 PaperPad and the WIN.INI
PaperPad makes a relatively minor change to the WIN.INI:
it adds the section [XpresWare] if it doesn't already exist,
and adds an entry to that (PadPath=). In the [XpresWare] section,
it uses the EOPATH= entry (from Easy Out). It also adds a section
entitled [PaperPad], with the entries HelpPath=, SaveDFlt?=,
TextBox=, Font=, and Size=. Two things you should know: all
XpresWare programs write into the section [XpresWare], and also
all XpresWare programs let the system know that it changed the
WIN.INI and what it changed. For more complete information,
please see the file PPAD.HLP.
-------
6 Registering
You are given one month (30 days) of try-before-you-buy. After
that month, you have two options: register (read: purchase) PaperPad,
or delete it from your system. To delete PaperPad is simple: just delete
all the files listed in section 1. To register, though, is more difficult.
You need to send $15 (plus $2 for US mail or $11 for overnight Express mail)
in the form of a check or money order, along with the filled out registration
form (REGISTER.TXT) to XpresWare, 6 Channing Place, Cambridge, MA 02138. After
we receive your order and your form of money clears, we will send out WinFast
to you. If you register during the summer, please expect a one-to-two week
extra period.
-------
7 Dates and Current Times
Since things are currently changing, the newer a file is, the truer. Example:
with the release of this program, we are no longer offering Airborne Express,
UPS, DHL, or Federal Express, but continue to offer Express Mail from the USPS.
Costs for the mail has chaged as well.
