FORGOTIT.EXE is a small Windows 95 desktop utility who has the same usage than
the original trademark "Post It".
Forgot-It is useful for keeping notes and reminders on your Windows 95 desktop,
rather than on hard to find little pieces of paper.
Forgot-It is shareware. The price is U.S.$15
---------------------------------------------------------------------
To install Forgot-It, simply unzip FORGOTIT.ZIP in a directory.
Then right-click on FORGOTIT.INF and select Install....
You can too uninstall Forgot-It by the standard way...
(ControlPanel/Application/Remove)
Thanxs to Yadla (amiposte@worldnet.fr) for the installation scripts !
---------------------------------------------------------------------
A little yellow icon is placed on the Taskbar when Forgot-It is launched.
Click the LEFT mouse button on the yellow Forgot-It Taskbar icon to open the
Forgot-It window.
Clicking the RIGHT mouse button on the Forgot-It Taskbar icon will open
a configuration menu.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The following Shortcut Keys will function in the open Forgot-It window :
ESC : Minimize the Forgot-It Window to the Task bar icon
F2 : Save NOW the contents of Forgot-It. (Default is saved when closing Forgot-It)
Alt-F4 or Alt-X : Exit Forgot-It
Ctrl-A : Select All
Alt-F : Select default Font.

The open Forgot-It window will cycle through 10 different pages.
Click on the left and right arrows next to the page numbers to cycle
through the pages.
You can open 4 different Forgot-It windows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Forgot-It will allow you to set alarms. To set an alarm, insert, in the note,
the DATE that you want the alarm to activate, as follows:
@01/12/96 (European format)
or
@12.01.96 (U.S.A. format)
The note will appear with an alert box when the day is reached. (The examples
above will generate an alarm on December 1, 1996.)
Then Forgot-It will replace the '@' symbol with the '#' symbol indicating
that the date for the alarm has passed.
When the alarm occurs, an alart box is displayed, with the text following the alarm.
i.e @01/12/96 Essai d'alarme
If immediatly following date of the alarm, you put '-13:00' i.e, it will make alarm
at 13hours 00 mins...
Example :
@12.01.96-14:30 will alarm the First December 96, at 14h30
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't want the Forgot-It icon to appear on the Taskbar when the
Forgot-It Window is open, you can remove it.
To do this, edit POSTIT.INI (in the Windows directory), by adding the
following line in the [Post-It] section:
ToolWindow=1
When you restart Forgot-It, the Forgot-It Icon will not appear in the Taskbar,
and the menu bar on the open Forgot-It window will be a little smaller.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
About color selection :
Windows don't enable every colors for an Edit-Window...Only no-dithered colors
are useable for Edit-Windows when you are in 16colors or 256colors....
If you select a bad color for Forgot-It, you should get 2 colors in the
edit window : 1 for text, and one other for background...
(Difficult to explain : Try by yourself...)
