HotNotes is a tool to help you enter FR notes, which conform to
the Silicon Valley PAF Users Group Documentation Guidelines. A
copy of these guidelines is included with HotNotes. HotNotes was
created with two goals in mind: (1) help the PAF user be
encouraged to use the documentation standards and (2) help
eliminate computer busy-work! Two benefits of HotNotes are: it
provides an easy way to use standard TAG names, and it prevents
re-typing commonly used information.
HotNotes was intended to help cure one wide-spread malady
afflicting FR Notes documenters: "chronic-re-type syndrome" Many
PAF users have an aversion to typing let alone typing the same
thing over and over again. Computers should do the work for us,
not us for them. HotNotes allows TAGS and Sources to be reused,
over and over again, without re-typing. HotNotes was designed to
reduce this burden.
TAGS provide a flexible, extensible, uniform way for people to
share documentation information. Appendix G of the PAF 2.2
Reference Manual provided the concept. Most people will not go to
the effort of inserting TAGS or other source information unless it
is convenient. HotNotes make it easy to enter TAGS and SOURCES.
HotNotes installs as a Terminate and Stay Resident application
(similar to Borland's SuperKeyTM program.) This technology was
employed so that HotNotes would always be there for you, without
leaving FR. Your notes stay in the FR file formats, so Focus and
all Ancestral file submissions include your note editing.
