Read/Write: Updates NOTES2.DAT file
╔═══════════════════╗
║ Brief Description ║
╚═══════════════════╝
NOTE CLEAN is a PAF utility designed to eliminate all the empty
space occupied by deleted PAF notes in your NOTES2.DAT file.
╔══════════════════╗
║ Long Description ║
╚══════════════════╝
The notepad for an individual in PAF is not necessarily a
contiguous string of records unless all notes for that individual
are entered at one time. If other individuals are added, and
other notes are added, then extending the notes for an earlier
individual will result in a fragmented NOTES2.DAT file.
Using NOTECLEN.EXE will de-fragment the NOTES2.DAT file during the
process of removing all unused note records resulting in
contiguous notepad records for any one individual. This will
speed up the access to notes from PAF especially if there are
several records for each individual in your database.
NOTECLEN cannot be used on External PAF notes. Since these notes
use the INDIV2.DAT file ID pointer rather than the NotePad
pointer, and External Notes are selected in the PAF CONFIG, the
accidental use of NOTECLEN on data of this type should have no
serious ill effects.
