- InternetNotePad! v1.4b
- ---------------------
-
- (This is mostly a duplicate of HELP.TXT included since some ftp sites
- require a readme.txt file to be enclosed.)
-
- Most of the help is avaiable within the program
- by clicking HELP.
-
- InternetNotePad! The first of its kind! A notepad program that actually
- reads/writes documents on the Internet. InternetNotepad! is just like
- the notepad program issued with Windows, but allows you to work over
- the Internet.
-
- Great for : frequent updates of web pages - no more edit, upload, edit
- upload some more... just edit and save! So easy!
-
- writing programming source code
-
- creating quick internet batch files, asp, perl
-
- replacing unix commands like Pico, VI, Emacs
- .. much more!
-
- ------
- -Note- In The Unregistered Version :
- ------
- The trial period for Unregistered InternetNotePad! is 20-days.
- You will be posted warnings on day 10 and 20. After 20 days,
- the program will not save files until you register.
-
- The registration amount is a very modest ($18) compared to the power
- of this program. Please click REGISTER on the main menu in the
- program for details.

- ------------------ HELP ON SETTINGS -------------------------
- =============================================================
- If you have trouble with the settings of the program
- a short description of SETTINGS follows:
-
- In the SITE field, enter a full site name
- such as : eagle.geocities.com
- somewhere.someplace.com
- 123.456.789
- etc.
-
- In the USER and PASSWORD fields, enter your username
- and password such as :
- harry123
- ******
- etc.
- This should be fairly self explanatory.
-
- -----------------
- Note : AOL USERS - Enter the following for your settings - AOL USERS
- Site Name : members.aol.com
- User Name : anonymous
- Password : your_user_name@aol.com
- Remote Dir: your_user_name
- -----------------
-
- Clicking on SAVE PASSWORD IN PREFERENCES indicates whether you
- want the password _also_ remembered in the preference file (along
- with the other fields you entered). This is so that each time you
- run the program, the fields are remembered and filled in for you.
- Some people wouldn't want the password stored in a file for security
- reasons.
- However, InternetNotePad! includes password encryption in the data file
- so that you can not view the password.
-
- Once you're satisfied with the entry, click OK to save it.
-
- ====================================================================
- - SAVES MULTIPLE FTP SITES IN PREFERENCES -
- ====================================================================
-
- You can enter multiple sites by simply entering a new site name,
- user information, password and click OK.
-
- -- Selecting the Entries --
- To select the different sites, you can click on the pull-down
- button next to the SITE name field and it will list all the ftp sites
- you have entered.
- Once you select a site, the username, password, and other fields
- will fill in automatically to what you had them at before for that
- site. Any further changes you make will be saved once you hit OK in
- the settings.
-
- -- Adding a New Entry --
- If the site name field currently has something entered already (such as
- a previously selected ftp site) just begin typing over it and enter
- all the new information and then click OK. This will enter a new site into
- the preferences file as long as the site name is a new one.
-
- Likewise, to change any fields on an already existing entry, just select the
- entry from the pulldown, modify the fields such as the password, username, or
- directory, and then click OK. This will update the entry.
-
- -- Removing an Entry --
- Currently there is no Delete button for the ftp sites under the
- settings screen. Therefore, if you do want to erase some ftp sites,
- or just make a whole new list of sites, you'll have to delete the
- file called "notepadpref.dat" (a file created by the program). This
- will force the program to create a new one for you. Maybe the next
- version I'll add a delete key for it.
-
- I hope the controls for the Settings screen are easy to understand.
- If they are not, please LET ME KNOW and I'll change them so they _are_
- easy for all users to use.

- - Other Notes -
- ===============================================================
- Special Web Host Condition :
-
- InternetNotePad! requires your FTP server to allow you the
- ability to both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD files. Some ftp/web hosts only
- allow you to upload files to their site. You must also be allowed the
- ability to download from the site to use InternetNotePad!. If you
- do find you have this problem, please send me an email and I will
- see what I can do for you.
-
- Opening Local Files :
-
- InternetNotePad! does not support opening local files on your computer.
- It only supports opening, editing, and saving REMOTE files on the
- Internet. Future versions may include the ability to open and store
- remotely local files on your computer, but this was left out of the
- original version for transparency and simpilicty of the program idea.
- For now, if you absolutely must open a local file to save on the internet,
- you can drag & drop the file locally onto the InteretNotePad! icon
- and then save it on the internet.
-
- =============================================================
- - Y2K Compliancy : InternetNotePad! IS YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT (Y2K) -
- =============================================================
- InternetNotePad! has been updated to include a new Year 2000 and up
- data interface. If all goes well, the program should last well
- into the year 9999, then again, I suppose we'll all have evolved
- into something much wackier by then. :)
