What is MultiNote ?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MultiNote allows you to save different texts (information) in a uniform way.
With Multinote you associate every text (ascii text, typed or from a file)
with a searchable title. You define what information is related, MultiNote
stores it for you.
With MultiNote you cn arrange your information in three levels:
1) You can have several database files
2) Each file has 15 divisions (tabs)
3) In each tabs you can have more than a thousand items (titles and text)
Its hard to describe MultiNote in words, try it out !!!
Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MultiNote uses a separate DLL file to connect to a specific database types.
In this beta there are two drivers included:
- BIN, MultiNote own format
- MYSQL, uses the mysql database
Since installation is quite different depending on what format you choose
please refer to the correct procedure below:
BIN ============================
Requirments: OS/2 Warp 3 or later (tested on WSEB)
Copy the file MNOTE.EXE and BIN.MNDLL.DLL to a directory of your choice.
Rename BIN.MNDLL.DLL TO MNDLL.DLL (REN BIN.MNDLL.DLL MNDLL.DLL)
Start MNOTE.EXE
Now you may type the name of a new database (click on Create new)
or via the browse button select an old (beta 4) database.
MySQL =========================
Requirments: OS/2 Warp 3 or later (tested on WSEB)
EMX (runtime) 0.9d
MySQL 3.22.26a (may work with older versions)
Only tested with MySQL server installed locally but
MultiNote should work with and MySQL server (even NON-OS/2).
Copy the file MNOTE.EXE and MYSQL.MNDLL.DLL to a directory of your choice.
Rename MYSQL.MNDLL.DLL TO MNDLL.DLL (REN MYSQL.MNDLL.DLL MNDLL.DLL)
Using the MNOTE.SQL file and the MySQL utilities create two tables in
(any) MySQL database.
Start MNOTE.EXE
Now you must create a connection string to connect to MySQL. The string
is a set of parameters separated with ;
This is an example that will help you figure out how to write your own
connection string:
I use the following string:
MARTIN;localhost;jma;0;\socket\mysql.sock
The parameters are:
MARTIN Name of my MultiNote database (NOT a MySQL db)
localhost Address of my server (hostname or IP address)
jma Name of the MySQL db where you created the tables
0 MySQL server port (TCP/IP).
\socket\mysql.sock Socket to connect to (if using sockets)
Enter your string and optionally (if your servers requires it) a username
and a password. Now click on "Create new" to create the connection.
If your connection is successfull you can now click on the "Set as default"
checkbox and then click OK to open the database.
Please refer to MySQL documentation for more information on how to
configure and connet to a MySQL server.
Note: The MySQL support DLL is not multithreaded due to no threading
support in the current MySQL client library.
