- credit card, the fee is fifteen dollars. The return message will contain an
- identification number.
-
- You can order directly from me at the given address or from the

- display when the "ini" file contains a proper name and ID number match.
- The proper name will appear in the title bar at program start.

- The matching name and ID number will work in possible minor version
- number upgrades containing minor fixes or improvements to "Notebook".
- Constructive criticism is always appreciated.
-
- * The first "beta" version was incomplete and should be discarded.
-
- Beta2 was correct but contained a non-fatal unsaved document print
- bug that was fixed in the beta3 version.
-
- Beta3 added word wrap and a page margin setup facility.
-
- Beta4 added case sense selective searches and command line parameter
- associative file opening.
-
- Beta5 added title and page number output to the print spooler,
- searches that scan the entire document in one operation to go to a line
- number and/or find text, and a direct go to end of document feature.
-
- Beta6 added a replace feature to be used with search. Also an
- intermittently fatal bug in backward searches through huge documents has been
- fixed. And a non-fatal bug in go to end of a huge document when in wordwrap,
- has been fixed.
-
- Version 1.0 added a file run with association menuitem, a modifiable
- title output to the print spooler, and proper size and initial position of
- the position box on an 800x600 display.
-
- Version 1.1 added default filespec enhancement to the Open and Run
- dialog boxes. Also if the display driver sets a larger height for the menu
- bar to accommodate 8514 fonts, then larger (26 pixels high) pushbutton
- menuitems are shown. A non-fatal bug of line count after a huge forward
- search was fixed. Finally, a powerful automatic find and replace function
- was added.
-
- Version 1.2 fixed a non-fatal bug in the automatic replace all
- command. An icon file was included for better contrast on monochrome
- displays.
-
- Version 1.3 fixed a fatal memory allocation bug that showed up when
- operating in stressed disk swapping situations. Also the maximum number of
- characters on a line is limited to 1024.
-
- Version 1.4 added a file merge function to allow the insertion of a
- text file anywhere into the current document. File open and file merge can
- insert carriage return line feed pairs as necessary to format the document.
-
- Version 1.5 fixed a fatal local memory allocation bug that showed
- up if Notebook was minimized when in word wrap mode with a file larger than
- 20 kilobytes loaded. Also a non-fatal global allocation bug on associative
- file open in word wrap mode was fixed to allow a file of any size to be
- completely read in word wrap mode.
-
- Version 1.6 added three features. Also a non-fatal backward scroll
- display bug was fixed. Documents sent to the print spooler became word
- wrapped to fit inside the margins. Tab-stop spacing became user selectable.
- A bookmark function was added.
-
- Notebk17.zip adds these features. The editing of control codes is
- now possible. Selected text from the main edit window can be copied into the
- search or replace buffers with a single keystroke or two mouse clicks. Also
- scrolling through text fields can be done by keystroke.
-
- The constructive feedback from users determined what features were
- to be added to this version. Thank you.
-
- Notebook.exe is bundled with a help file called notebook.hlp, an
- icon file for black and white displays called notebkbw.ico, and this file
- called noteinfo. This is Notebook version 1.7 which has the label "1.7"
- right aligned on the menu bar.
