1.0 General
============================================================
Thank you for participating in the beta test of the
Natara DayNotez Windows companion application.
Please email your questions, comments, and bug reports to
betatest@natara.com. Before reporting problems, please
review the known bug list below, and at our web site
http://www.natara.com/daynotez/beta.cfm Be sure to download
the latest version.
See the revision history below for known bugs, and features
to be added before release.
DayNotez installs in a 30 day evaluation mode. The
full product feature set is avaialable for your use. After
30 days the conduit will no longer synchronize DayNotez
until a product registration code is entered.
============================================================
2.0 Quick Start Steps
============================================================
The following steps will get you up and running with DayNotez.
1) Open the downloaded Zip file and extract all the files
into a temporary directory. Run the setup program from
that location. Or, if you have downloaded the
self-extracting Zip file, run that executable and follow
the instructions.
2) At the completion of the install script an option is
provided to install the application on your Palm OS device.
Select that option. If you have multiple Palm Users defined
on your desktop, a selection list will be displayed. Pick
the user where you want to install DayNotez. Click the
Done button when the Install Tool dialog is displayed.
3) Perform a HotSync. The DayNotez application is now installed
on your handheld and ready for use.
4) After making entries on the Palm, synchronize again.
5) Run the desktop application either by double clicking the
DayNotez icon in the folder opened by install, or by the
start menu item found on "Start->Programs->Natara Software".
============================================================
3.0 Uninstalling
============================================================
Use the Add-Remove Programs control panel document to
uninstall DayNotez from your desktop.
============================================================
4.0 Product Limitations and Requirements
============================================================
1) DayNotez requires the Jet OLE DB driver version 4 or above.
You can download the latest version of the Microsoft Data
Access Components from http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm.

5.0 Revision History
============================================================
Build 104 Status:
New:
Preference for setting the background color of the 3 different entry views.
Page Setup is now persistent. Use the Page Setup menu item
on the main application to retain margin settings.
Status Bar now has a new look, including Caps/Nums lock
indicators.
Added hot-key Ctrl-S to "Save Entry" for quicker saves.
Added preference for Spell Check window to now "jump" around the
screen if you would prefer it to remain stationary.
Status Bar now has current date/time, which, when clicked,
does the equivalent of a "Go To Today"
Fixed:
Contol-Click in Custom grid now works reliably
Verification of Jet OLE 4.0 drivers now is "read-only"
which helps people using the desktop in an environment
where they had no write privilege to certain registry entries.
DayView now works for those experiencing problems due to
MDAC 2.6 updates (Microsoft broke this with their 2.6 MDAC release...)
Category Names now restricted to 15 characters as is on
the device side (Palm rule).
Printing now reliable with longer entries. Previously, long
DayNotez entries would print a couple of blank pages, then
print the entry and run off the bottom of the page.
Printing now reliably updates changes made when making Page
Setup changes in print preview.
Tabs now print properly
User name now prints properly
Added a space output after quick time, date, and bullet
for better formatting
Entry Tab toolbar no longer wraps/jumps.
"Save Entry" on Entry Tab has been changed to just an icon, plus
now a menu item.
DateNav list (on left) now properly updates when deleting entries.
Set smaller tab settings for Entry and Preview Pane.
The DayView navigation arrows now properly reflects the start
and end of the list.
