NOTEBOOK A Windows Text Editor for Documents to Maximum Heap Available Version 1.6* 7/7/91 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 CompuServe identification 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. The return message will contain an identification number. 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. Notebk16.zip adds three features requested by customers. Also a non-fatal backward scroll display bug is fixed. Documents sent to the print spooler are word wrapped to fit inside the margins. Previously the text of a line falling outside the margins was truncated. Tab-stop spacing is now user selectable from 2 to 14 average character widths. The selected tab spacing is also used to expand tabs of documents sent to the printer. A bookmark function is added to allow a document offset to be recalled. Tab spacing and bookmark values are saved in the notebook.ini file. Thanks, Notebook users, for the constructive feedback. Input from the customers is allowing features to be added and errors to be removed. 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 1.6 which has the label "1.6" right aligned on the menu bar. Mark Berlinger 1317 N. San Fernando Blvd. #133 Burbank, Ca 91504
