Posters! is a quick and easy stickup notes program for Windows. It is
designed to be simple to use as possible with few fancy features.
Written in Visual Basic 3.0 the program requires the Microsoft
distributable runtime VBRUN300.DLL.
Registration: Register this program by sending $10 to:
Douglas R Jackson
Rt 1 Box 279
Hamilton, AL 35570
Registration removes the reminder screen/delays and provides you license
to use the program on up to 10 computers you own and operate.
If you choose not to register the program, please take the time to let
me know what features you would like to see added to the program or what
you didn't like about the current version to cause you not to register.
Thank you for trying my shareware software!

Installation: Unzip the files to a directory on your hard disk and add
a Posters! icon to your windows startup group. (The distributable
runtime library THREED.VBX is included. This file must be present but
may be in the Posters! program directory or your windows system
directory.) You may use program manager to assign a short-cut key to
the program while/after creating the program icon.
Options:
Directory option: Posters! will automatically load all existing
notes from the startup directory (changeable each time Posters! is
executed) onto your desktop.
Confirm delete option: To have Posters! prompt you to confirm
deletion of each note when you double-click in the body of the note,
select yes, to have Posters! delete the note without prompting when you
double-click in the body of the note, select no.
Operation:
Adding notes: To add a new note, double-click the Posters! icon
and complete the pop-up form and fill in the text of the next and select
OK button.
Deleting notes: To delete a note, double click anywhere in
the body of the note.
Keys: The notes are designed so you can use the enter key in a
normal fashion. While entering notes, the text will simply scroll by
when you press return. It will also use automatic word-wrapping at the
ends of the lines. You can then use the mouse to select "OK" (or the
ESC key to abort the note) or use tab and return/space to select "OK".
Notes size: Notes are initially sized to 1/16 screen width for data
entry and for screen placement. If your information exceeds this
length, the note will be extended automatically until it is sufficient
to hold the entire note entered. This may result in overlap of
succeeding notes.
Notes arrangement: Notes are automatically sized and
placed to allow 16 notes per screen. Additional notes are place in an
overlay fashion on the previous screen of notes slightly lower and to
the right of the previous layer.
Program Termination: The program terminates automatically when windows
terminates. Alternatively, you may use the program managers task list
to end the program. Notes are saved when they are entered and deleted
when requested, therefore, all notes on the screen at termination will
be restored when the program is loaded again if the same directory is
used/specified.
