** ORDER MEMO MASTER BY CREDIT CARD VIA PSL (Public Software Library) **
** 1-800-242-4775 MC, Visa, American Express & Discover (ORDERS ONLY) **
(Operators are available from 7am tp 6pm CST Monday-Friday)
MEMO MASTER UPDATE NOTES:
Version 3.11 - has the convert utility built in and Alt-E will invoke
the version 2 type editor.
Version 3.11 - Added primitive mouse support. (I plan to enhance the
(03-Sep-92) Memo Master with more elaborate mouse support sometime
in the future.)
Version 3.20 - Added row & column coordinates to the [PgDn]
(Release 1) version 1 style editor and also the Alt-E
version 2 style editor.
Version 3.21 - Changed backup to floppy filespec from *.DB? to
(Release 1) *.D?? The DAT files for setup and printer
information will be backed up and also the DOC
files in case you make any modifications. Also
added a manual command choice.
MEMO /UMOFF will turn off swapping to upper memory and swap to disk
instead. (This is only necessary if you are getting errors
when swapping out to your external editor or during floppy
data backup.)
Version 3.21 - Added the Remind field to the 'Browse By Description' mode.
(Release 2)
Version 3.21 - Added the ability to jump right to the main
(Release 4) menu when in the middle of the MEMO /R feature.
(You can do this by pressing Alt-M at any pause)
Version 3.30 - Changed the menu screens an added the ability
(Release 1) for users to change the default colors of the
menus and popup screens/messages etc. (I have
the default color set to 'D-Bay Blue') Also
added 'Browse ALL Databases 1 At A Time' to the
browse menu (<Esc> aborts & "Quit" will quit the
current database and change to the next database
in alphabetical order) and slightly changed the
browse and search screens.
Version 3.31 - Add the ability to imbed a form feed character
(Release 1) in your memo field. <Shift [F8]> when using the
internal editors. (or <Alt 158>) This will put
a "₧" symbol in the memo field and this
character must be at the beginning of a line.
Anything following the "₧" symbol on the same
line will NOT be printed. When printing a
memo, every time a ₧ is encountered, a form feed
will be sent to your printer. I was unable to
use the normal Ascii 12 character so Ascii 158
was used. Please note that the "₧" character
will only issue a form feed to the printer when
the internal Memo Master editors are used.
(This function will not work when you use the
print block routine)
Version 3.50 - Added an Appointment/To Do Manager.
(Release 1)
Version 3.50 - Changed opening screen way of checking ALL
(Release 3) DATABASES for reminders. (Faster)
Version 3.55 - Added a dialer. ([Alt] [D]) When in the memo/text
(Release 1) field, move the cursor to the number you want to
dial and hit Alt-D to dial. The dialer will read
16 characters from the cursor position. BE SURE TO
TELL MEMO MASTER WHICH COM PORT TO USE BY PICKING,
S. Setup Option Menu. FROM THE MAIN MENU.
Version 3.55 - Speeded up searching multiple databases. It no longer
(Release 2) pauses at the end of each database the search string is
not found in.
Version 3.55 - Changed the Alt = calculator to a new movable one!
(Release 5) (Alt-F10 will let you change the calculator colors
for the current session.) [*Note* The solar calculator
is still in the internal editor.]
Version 3.56 - Added the ability to print all database records!
(Release 1) (Good idea Joe Fera) This option can be found at the
5. Data Backup / Print Menu. option on the main menu.
Version 4.00 - Changed the appointment manager to a much better new one!
(Release 1) Sorry but the new format is not compatable with the old
TODO.DAT format. TODO.EXE is included for use of the old
format.
*When running MEMO, always change to the directory where MEMO.EXE is
located. MEMO will create database files if they don't exist. For
calling MEMO from anywhere, you can add this batch file (MEMO.BAT)
to your batch file directory or any directory that is in you path:
@Echo Off
C:
cd \MEMO
MEMO %1
In the above example batch file you would, of course, change the
drive and directory to match where you installed MEMO.
*NOTE* IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED USER, WRITE DOWN YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER
AND REGISTRATION NUMBER JUST AS IT APPEARS ON THE TITLE SCREEN FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE. IF YOU SEE A VERSION LATER THAN THE ONE YOU HAVE
ON A BBS, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND USE THE YOUR REGISTRATION
INFORMATION TO REGISTER THE PROGRAM. TO DO SO, TYPE MEMO /REGISTER
ENTER YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, AND REGISTRATION NUMBER EXACTLY THE
WAY IT APPEARS ON THE TITLE SCREEN NOW.
(EXE file must be in it's original form for this procedure to work.)
If you are using OS/2, a special technique is required to enable
this procedure since OS/2 will not let an EXE file to be written to
while it is open. To register MEMO.EXE under OS/2, copy MEMO.EXE to
TEMP.EXE and the run TEMP /Register. After the registration
procedure is completed, you can delete the TEMP.EXE file.
(You might have to use this technique with some DOS 6.x setups)
