Thank you for downloading and trying List Pad 1.3.1! List Pad is a personal information manager (PIM) which is focused on personal lists. List Pad is great for keeping things like to do lists, shopping lists, itineraries, birthday lists, etc. List Pad can keep track of price information for shopping lists and has advanced alarms for date related lists. List Pad is perfect for those personal lists which are too large for Note Pad or a text file, yet too small for a full blown database.
This read me document contains a few quick notes about the 1.3.1 release and should be read by all users. Please see the included manual for information on using List Pad. Also, please feel free to contact Taylor Design with any questions you might have.

What's New in 1.3.1?
Version 1.3.1 includes a few minor bug fixes. We've fixed a conflict with Action Files and a cursor display problem where the cursor would jump when over an OS element (i.e. the Control Strip). This is a free upgrade for registered users. For more information on 1.3.1 improvements and the version history, see the included manual.
Requirements
* A Macintosh, or 100% compatible, with a 68020 or higher processor. List Pad is optimized for PowerPC.
* Mac OS 7.x or 8.x or higher.
* A minimum of 2.5 MB of hard disk space for the complete install (including manuals, sample files, etc).
* A minimum of 1.8 MB of free RAM for PowerPC, and 2.2 MB free RAM for 680x0.
Registration
List Pad is commercial software and is not free. When you download List Pad it is limited to demo mode. In demo mode List Pad operates normally for 30 days. After 30 days it will no longer run except to allow you to enter your registration code.
List Pad 1.3.1 can be purchased under three different licenses:
* Single User License: $19 each.
* Site License: $300 (single organization, all members within 100 mile/160 km radius).
* World-Wide License: $700 (single organization, all members on Earth).
You can purchase the above licenses using the application named Register in the TextSpresso folder. You can also order online using the URL's below:
Secure: http://order.kagi.com/?SC9&S
Unsecure: http://order.kagi.com/?SC9
If for some reason you do not wish to use either of the above options, you can pay Taylor Design directly. See the file Paying Directly in the Extras folder.
(Please note that some distributions of List Pad include a Register application which is for Single User licenses only. To purchase a Site or World-Wide license order online, use the Paying Directly form, or contact Taylor Design at support@taylor-design.com)
If you are a member of the press and would like a complimentary single user license for review purposes, please E-mail support@taylor-design.com with the appropriate information (i.e. name, organization, contact information for yourself and for confirmation). Once we've confirmed your press status we will register a single user license in the name of your organization and send you a registration code. All we ask is that you send us a copy of the review List Pad appears in when it is published. This offer applies to reviewers for Macintosh User Groups as well.
Last Minute Notes
* When using StuffIt Expander to expand the TextSpresso archive, make sure that the "Convert text files to Macintosh format:" option under "Cross Platform" preferences is NOT set to "Always". Users have reported that TextSpresso will not run when it is decompressed with this option set to Always.
* If you use StuffIt SpaceSaver, make sure you are using the latest version. Versions prior to 5.0.1 conflict with TextSpresso's safe save routines, resulting in "file not found" errors.
* RAM Charger Users: Make sure that RAM Charger is set to "Avoid taking all memory." Otherwise RAM Charger may assign TextSpresso far more RAM than it needs.
Reporting Bugs
Please report all bugs and problems, no matter how minor, to: support@taylor-design.com
When reporting a bug or a crash please report as much information about the problem as possible. Try to fill out the questions in the following check list:
* What type of Macintosh were you using? (Include RAM amount if possible.)
* What version of Mac OS were you using?
* What were you trying to do in List Pad and how did it go wrong?
* If possible, please provide the document you were working on.
* Can you reproduce the problem? If so, can you reproduce it with extensions off?
The more information you provide us with, the more quickly we can isolate and fix the problem.
