-
- NTS is the same basic program as NT 4.6 except that a full screen editor
- has been substituted for NT's line editor. The NTS editor is limited in
- function, consistent with NTS's limited aspirations. It does include right
- margin set, word wrap, and rudimentary reformat to new margins (as long as you
- don't get fancy). For Z3PLUS, ZCPR3.0+ with Extended TCAP.

- Syntax NTS [DIR:][FILE][.TYP] [/D]
-
- Save note to specified file. If the file already exists, the text entered
- will be appended to it. If the file extension is omitted, a default type is
- automatically inserted.
-
- If no file is specified on the command line, NTS will prompt the user for a
- filespec on exit. If no filename is given, a default file name, drive, and
- user area are used for output [these are configurable].
-
- Version 1.1 adds a configuration option to disable the "File: " prompt on
- exit. If no file name is given on invocation, then the default output file
- name is automatically used. NT 4.6 has this feature.
-
- IMPORTANT: A filename with a blank .TYP cannot be opened by
- NT unless the default file type has been patched to ' '.
- (Such a file would have been created with another program.)
-
- The "/D" command line option omits the Date and separator from notes. Any
- text appended to a file will start on the next line.

- Patches
-
- ZCNFG.COM, available publicly at no charge, is highly recommended. Put
- ZCNFG and NTS.CFG in the same drive and user area and type
-
- ZCNFG NTS
-
- ZCNFG will guide you through a menu-driven installation session, including
- online help.
-
- If you wish to configure the NTS command set, edit the file NTSOVL.Z80,
- assemble it to a HEX file and overlay NTS.COM.

- NTS Notes
-
- a. Vs 1.1b updates (9/25/91, Rob Friefeld):
- - Added command line option /D to omit Date separator between notes.
-
- b. Vs 1.1a updates (9/19/91, Al Hawley):
- - Modified the configuration area in NTS11 to include the name of the
- CFG file for ZCNFG. Reassembled NTS and NTSCFG to produce the files
- in this library.
-
- c. Vs 1.1 (9/16/91, Rob Friefeld):
- - Based on NT, the Note Taker, this version has a simple full screen
- editor. Command set is based on WordStar (tm). It appends short
- notes to files, automatically including the current time. Update
- from version 1.0 adds a configuration option to skip output file name
- prompt on exit.
