Dear Future Customer:
When you decide to register as a user contact Mark Berlinger by
the U. S. postal service. Messages may be sent to the author by way of
CompuServe to number 70134,3016.
Here's the deal. You send a sawbuck (ten dollars American) and a
proper name to the address at the end of this file. Upon receiving the
consideration you will be contacted through the same BBS or mail if desired.
If you want to use a credit card, the fee is sixteen dollars. The return
message will contain an identification number. Standard site license fees
are $50 for 10 PCs to $300 for an unlimited number of PCs.
To order by credit card (only) contact:
Public (software) Library with your MC, Visa, AmEx or Discover card by
calling 800-2424-PsL or 713-524-6394 or by FAX to 713-524-6398 or by
CompuServe to 71355,470 or by mail to PsL, P. O. Box 35705, Houston, TX

The name and ID number are entered into the nagware dialog box.
The name and ID number are added to the "notebook.ini" information which
sits in the "windows" sub-tree. "Notebook" will run without the nagware
display when the "ini" file contains a proper name and ID number match.
The proper name will appear in the title bar at program start.
The matching name and ID number will work in possible minor version
number upgrades containing minor fixes or improvements to "Notebook".
Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
* The first "beta" version was incomplete and should be discarded.
Beta2 was correct but contained a non-fatal unsaved document print
bug that was fixed in the beta3 version.
Beta3 added word wrap and a page margin setup facility.
Beta4 added case sense selective searches and command line parameter
associative file opening.
Beta5 added title and page number output to the print spooler,
searches that scan the entire document in one operation to go to a line
number and/or find text, and a direct go to end of document feature.
Beta6 added a replace feature to be used with search. Also an
intermittently fatal bug in backward searches through huge documents has been
fixed. And a non-fatal word wrap mode bug in go to end of a huge document
has been fixed.
Version 1.0 added a file run with association menu item, a modifiable
title output to the print spooler, and proper size and initial position of
the position box on an 800x600 display.
Version 1.1 added default filespec enhancement to the Open and Run
dialog boxes. Also if the display driver sets a larger height for the menu
bar to accommodate 8514 fonts, then larger (26 pixels high) push button
menu items are shown. A non-fatal bug of line count after a huge forward
search was fixed. Finally, a powerful automatic find and replace function
was added.
Version 1.2 fixed a non-fatal bug in the automatic replace all
command. An icon file was included for better contrast on monochrome
displays.
Version 1.3 fixed a fatal memory allocation bug that showed up when
operating in stressed disk swapping situations. Also the maximum number of
characters on a line is limited to 1024.
Version 1.4 added a file merge function to allow the insertion of a
text file anywhere into the current document. File open and file merge can
insert carriage return line feed pairs as necessary to format the document.
Version 1.5 fixed a fatal local memory allocation bug that showed up
if Notebook was minimized when in word wrap mode with a file larger than 20
kilobytes loaded. Also a non-fatal global allocation bug on associative file
open in word wrap mode was fixed to allow a file of any size to be completely
read in word wrap mode.
Version 1.6 added word wrapped output to the print spooler, tab-stop
spacing became user selectable, and a bookmark function. Also a non-fatal
backward scroll display bug was fixed.
Version 1.7 added the editing of control codes, the copying of text
from the main edit window to the search or replace buffers, and the scrolling
through text fields by keystroke.
Version 1.8 added an extended file delete function with confirmation,
an edit select all function with the capability of huge copy, cut, paste,
delete and undo operations, and a file merge that can be undone. Changes in
the edit control code function eliminated an unshared tight loop during the
translations and allowed a keyboard escape. Also a fatal defect in canceling
printer output to a file was fixed.
Version 1.9 added an initial size and position feature to allow the
beginning Notebook window size and position to be user defined. A replace
all function defect that showed up with documents larger than 64k if the
replace string was bigger than the find string was repaired. A repeated
find function defect of truncating the find and replace strings to fifteen
characters was also fixed.
Version 1.A added a File Print Selection command to allow selected
text of the document to be sent to the print spooler. The File Print All
command sends the entire document to the print spooler. The possibility of
sending two consecutive NEWFRAME type Escapes to the printer driver which
caused the printer to abort task was eliminated. A defect of printing the
page number of the last page one line too low was fixed.
Version 1.B added a two-sided print function to halve paper demand.
The Go To dialog box was changed from modal type to modeless which means the
dialog box stays open during main window operations. Find and replace
history was added to the Go To dialog box with new combo box controls.
A Replace push button was added to the modeless Go To dialog box to allow
continuous find and replace action by push button. A file extension list box
was added to the open, delete, merge and run dialog boxes.
Notebook 1.C allows binary files to be opened. In this case the
memory image is converted to text format, and file saving is disabled to
protect the binary file format. The text can be edited, sent to the
clipboard and pasted into the destination text file. This process allows
extraction of text from word processor documents, spreadsheets, executables,
etcetera. Set Find, Set Replace and Line # push buttons are added to the Go
To dialog box. Set Find and Set Replace buttons allow selected text to be
copied to their respective buffers. If no text is selected, then the buttons
clear the buffers. The Line # button clears the line number entry. The find
and replace buffers are extended to hold 63 characters each. An endless loop
defect upon go to end of file in an unlikely circumstance is fixed. When
Notebook is shown as an icon at Windows initialization, the Line Size dialog
box will not show. To avoid defects in Win30 and Win31 when in word wrap
mode, the document is unwrapped when minimized then wrapped when restored.
Notebook.exe is bundled with a help file called notebook.hlp,
several useful icon files including one for black and white displays called
notebkbw.ico, and this file called noteinfo. This is Notebook version 1.C
which has the label "1.C" right aligned on the menu bar.
Thank you for the constructive feedback.
