CALLNOTE.EXE
This is a small program (54K) that provides a pop-up window in DOS to
write notes of up to 100 lines @ 38 characters/line and keeps track
of phone numbers in a Rolodex file. Phone numbers can be dialed
through the modem without having to do anything more than picking up
the phone when you get an answer. Thanks to Jeff Sumberg at
Sailboard(2) BBS (201-831-8152), and his QBSER21, you can use a modem
set up as COM port 1, 2, 3 or 4.
To use the program, place the CALLNOTE.EXE file and the NAME.LST and
the NOTE.LST files in the same directory and run CALLNOTE from this
directory. Notes you write are stored as plain ASCII text in
NOTE.LST and phone numbers are stored in NAME.LST. You have the
opportunity to add a note to a number when using PhoneBook.
As you use the program, note that the command area is in the top 2
lines of the window. Commands are single letters and can be either
upper case or lower case, it doesn't matter. There is no need to
enter a carriage return at the end of the line, since word wrap is
activated in places where it is useful -- just keep typing. The only
exception to this rule is when responding to the "TOPIC" line in the
NoteBook section. Here, you are limited to a maximum of 31
characters and there MUST be a carriage return before, or at, the
31st character.
This program is offered as shareware. If you find that you like it
and use it, search under NoteBook for CALLNOTE and do what it says
there. This keeps people like Jeff & I writing for you folks! If
you want to get Jeff's QBSER21, call his board. I can recommend this
program to anyone working with doors on a BBS or wanting to overcome
QuickBasic's limitations on utilization of COM ports.
