NOTEBOOK
A Windows Text Editor for Documents to Maximum Heap Available
Version 1.7* 9/24/91 by Mark Berlinger
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 below. 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 fifteen dollars. The return message will contain an
identification number.
You can order directly from me at the given address or from the
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
77235-5705. These numbers are for ordering only. For information about
dealer pricing, volume discounts, site licensing or technical information
contact the author.
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 bug in go to end of a huge document when in wordwrap,
has been fixed.
Version 1.0 added a file run with association menuitem, 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) pushbutton
menuitems 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 three features. Also a non-fatal backward scroll
display bug was fixed. Documents sent to the print spooler became word
wrapped to fit inside the margins. Tab-stop spacing became user selectable.
A bookmark function was added.
Notebk17.zip adds these features. The editing of control codes is
now possible. Selected text from the main edit window can be copied into the
search or replace buffers with a single keystroke or two mouse clicks. Also
scrolling through text fields can be done by keystroke.
The constructive feedback from users determined what features were
to be added to this version. Thank you.
Notebook.exe is bundled with a help file called notebook.hlp, an
icon file for black and white displays called notebkbw.ico, and this file
called noteinfo. This is Notebook version 1.7 which has the label "1.7"
right aligned on the menu bar.
