INTRODUCTION:

Are you still looking for the ideal note-taking program? A program that
allows you to take random notes and also helps you organize the vast
amount of random information that you collect every day. A program where
you can find your notes on any subject easily, a program that allows you
to keep large bodies of text, related or unrelated, grouped into folders
of your choice. Well, look no more. You have arrived! WhizNotes can do
all that for you.

What's more, WhizNotes even lets you link your notes by hypertext
links by a simple drag and drop. The advantage of hypertext is that
you can jump from note to note by double-clicking on these links. In
WhizNotes' hypertext scheme, any note which is not already open is
opened for you and if the note is contained in another folder, even that
folder is opened for you. AND THAT IS NOT ALL! WhizNotes is also a Help
authoring system. Turn your notes into "WINDOWS hypertext help" easily
and effortlessly.

Combine this with the ability to give long names to the notes and the
folders, and you will be delighted with how much you can accomplish with
WhizNotes. Start using WhizNotes and say goodbye to your journals, logs
and diaries. No restrictions. You can enter free-format text in your notes
and search for it in free-format as well.

To get a quick demo of help generation, open and compile the Sample
WZN folder SAMPLHLP.WZN. Also see "Introduction" and other introductory
topics in online help.
