Welcome to the Magic Notes V2.0 for Win3.1 and Win95/NT3.51
How to install
--------------
Unzip the files in this archive and run SETUP.EXE program from Windows.
The setup program will automatically detect which operating system you're
running on.
Note!
-----
This new version saves notes in a slightly different format
which means if you decide to change back to a previous version,
you will NOT be able to load your saved notes from this version.
To prevent this you can install this version in a different directory.
New features
------------
o New "Hide all" / "Show All" option which temporarily hides
your notes.
o New duplicate note function.
o Improved alarm reporting.
o New print function which allows you to print out notes.
(see Print Note in the note menu)
o Now allows you to set the color of the text inside a note
using the color selection in the font dialog (see Select Font).
o New picture for the system menu on the notes to make it look
more like Win95. Win95 version also has a close button on the
right.
o Your notes data is backed up when you start Magic Notes
from NOTES.DAT to NOTES.BAK.

Now if the icon properties is set to minimize on startup
Magic Notes will minimize itself or if running Win95,
the toolbar will hide and show a trayicon instead.
