- System Requirements:
- ------------------------------------
- Visual Basic 3.0 Runtime Library : vbrun300.dll
- Cmdialog.vbx ; Commdlg.dll ; Threed.vbx ; MsgBlast.vbx
- Microsoft Windows 3.1 or NT or 95
- Included files :
- ------------------------------------
- MemoTXXX.exe Windows executable file(XXX = revision number)
- MemoHtm.ini Html stripper initialisation file
- Readme.txt This text file
- Overview:
- ------------------------------------
- This program add any text file to your memopad automaticaly. It has also an
- HTML code stripper integrated with an autodetect option.
- You can use it through :
- - the interface,
- - the command line,
- - Drag&Drop from the File Manager or Explorer
- - the Send To command in Win95 right click,
- - or by throwing a file over its icon on the win95
- desktop.
- You are also able to have multiple configurations : just copy the EXE file
- and rename it as you wish. It will create a new INI file with
- the same name.
-
- With version 4, you are now able to run the MemoEdit. This part of the program
- allows you to perform these operations : add, edit, delete, undelete before HotSync
- (basicaly what PilotDesktop is doing). CAUTION : personal items will be visible in
- any case.
- Instructions:
- -----------------------------------
- 1) Run the program
- 2) Configure the header and the options you want to keep as default
- Go in the config menu, enter the Pilot directory and save.
- 3) The "HTML Autodetect" option is very useful, if you want to use the internal
- Stripper. "Stop after Drag&Drop" : when checked the program will stop if you
- use it trough SendTo or after you Dragged&Droped a file over MemoTrans icon on
- the win95 desktop
- 4) Select the file to transform OR Drag&Drop a file from Explorer (or File Manager)
- 5) Check the desired options,
- 6) Press the "Transfer" button button (Pilot desktop should not be running or be
- set to another user)
- 7) HotSync your Pilot
- ----- OR --------
- Use the command line :
- ----------------------------------
- MemoTXXX.exe File_To_Transform "Begining_Of_Header" "Title" "End_Of_Header" -[Options]
- Even if you don't want the Begining_Of_Header, Title or End_Of_Header insert ""
- (empty string)
- Options are :
- d : Date stamp
- y : Date stamp with year
- p : Page number stamp
- w : Cuts at end of Word
- l : Cuts at end of Line
- r : Private
- h : Html
- t : text
- c : Specify the target category Followed by the name of the category
- between quotation marks
- NOTA : if you dont specify a option, the program uses the default option saved.
- Example :
- --------
- Command line :
- MemoTXXX.exe c:\data\Bigfile.txt "---" " Text from David" "---" -dplc"internet"
- And you will get this kind of header : "---06/10 Text from David 1/4 ---"
- transfered in "internet" category.
- ----- OR ------
- If you put MemoTrans on your office (Windows95 screen) :
- Drag and Drop a file over your MemoTrans office icon : It will automaticaly
- import the file in default category in the Pilot Desktop with the header
- you saved with "Config.". The file name will be inserted if you've selected
- the middle header.
- (You can also put an alias of MemoTrans in the SendTo directory of windows95)
- HotSync:
- --------------------------------
- When you HotSync your Pilot your new memos don't seem to stay in the correct
- order. To keep the correct order, you should select "Desktop overwrites Pilot"
- in the custom menu (HotSync menu).
- Remember that doing so, the memos you've entered in your pilot since the
- last HotSync will be lost.(Do a normal HotSync before...)
- I added an option. Once configurized, when you execute MemoTrans, HotSync will
- use the configuration that you have saved in the config window ("HotSync
- button").
- Configurize the HotSync to use with Memotrans :
- -----------------------------------------------
- - Start Pilot Desktop and go in the Custom menu (HotSync)
- - Set All the options to the desired setting
-
- I suggest : Every thing with "do nothing" with "Set as default"
- Except Memopad with "Desktop overwrites Pilot" "set
- as default"
-
- - Start MemoTrans and go in "Config", push the HotSync button
- - After two "OK" pressed your configuration is saved and Memotrans has exit
- - Reconfigure the Custom menu to the setting you had before.(don't forget to
- "set as default")
- - Exit Pilot Desktop or set Pilot Desktop to a user you won't use with MemoTrans.
- - Start MemoTrans
- As long as MemoTrans is on, your HotSync will use the saved setting.
- Html stripper :
- --------------------------------------
- The html stripper integrated in MemoTrans is customable with the memohtm.ini
- file. When MemoTrans encouters a tag listed under a section ([html], [ul],...
- it replaces it with the defined expression.
- The expression is made of :
- cr : LineFeed + CarriageReturn
- &aaa& : String between ampersand character
- (34) : Any character defined as ASCII decimal
- number
- But when MemoTrans encounters a tag defined as a section([ol], [ul],...)
- it uses the definition tag defined under the new section until it encouters
- the ending tag (e.g. </ul>). You should also defined ending statement under
- [html].
- You can defined as many html tag as you like but no section.
- Under the [Chr] section is defined special characters.
-
- Hints:
- -------------------------------
- - When the middle header is checked but empty (and saved as default),any
- selected file will be enter in this part of the header.
- - If you save the config with "HTML" checked, the autodetect is off and
- Memotrans will try to strip html code out of any file.
- Troubleshooting :
- -------------------------------
- - If a error occurs during the writing of the "memopad.dat" file, this
- file can be unusable by the HotSync Manager. You are able to use the
- Back-up file "memopad.bak" which is a copy of your "memopad.dat" just
- after your last HotSync, or you can use "memopad.mmt" which is a copy
- of "memopad.dat" just before using MemoTrans.
- If you get this message when you are trying to open Pilot Desktop :
- " Pilot caused an invalid page fault in module MFC30.dll..."
- you should erase your current "memopad.dat" and rename one of the 2
- above.
- - In the config window, you must enter the Pilot desktop directory
- without the "pilot.exe" (but with the last "\").
- - HotSync Manager must be running.
- - The .ini file must stay where the application is located.
- - The number of memos on disk are the number of all the memos that
- have been created since the last HotSync. It includes the one you'have
- already deleted.
- - If you create, delete or rename users, you should reconfig HotSync in
- MemoTrans
