MEMO MASTER UPDATE NOTES:

Version 3.11 - has the convert utility built in and Alt-E will invoke
               the version 2 type editor.

Version 3.11 - Added primitive mouse support.  (I plan to enhance the
(03-Sep-92)    Memo Master with more elaborate mouse support sometime
               in the future.)

Version 3.20 - Added row & column coordinates to the [PgDn]
(Release 1)    version 1 style editor and also the Alt-E
               version 2 style editor.

Version 3.21 - Changed backup to floppy filespec from *.DB? to
(Release 1)    *.D??  The DAT files for setup and printer
               information will be backed up and also the DOC
               files in case you make any modifications.  Also
               added a manual command choice.

MEMO /UMOFF will turn off swapping to upper memory and swap to disk
            instead.  (This is only necessary if you are getting errors
            when swapping out to your external editor or during floppy
            data backup.)

Version 3.21 - Added the Remind field to the 'Browse By Description' mode.
(Release 2)

Version 3.21 - Added the ability to jump right to the main
(Release 4)    menu when in the middle of the MEMO /R feature.
               (You can do this by pressing Alt-M at any pause)

Version 3.30 - Changed the menu screens an added the ability
(Release 1)    for users to change the default colors of the
               menus and popup screens/messages etc.  (I have
               the default color set to 'D-Bay Blue')  Also
               added 'Browse ALL Databases 1 At A Time' to the
               browse menu (<Esc> aborts & "Quit" will quit the
               current database and change to the next database
               in alphabetical order) and slightly changed the
               browse and search screens.

Version 3.31 - Add the ability to imbed a form feed character
(Release 1)    in your memo field. <Shift [F8]> when using the
               internal editors. (or <Alt 158>)  This will put
               a "₧" symbol in the memo field and this
               character must be at the beginning of a line.
               Anything following the "₧" symbol on the same
               line will NOT be printed.  When printing a
               memo, every time a ₧ is encountered, a form feed
               will be sent to your printer. I was unable to
               use the normal Ascii 12 character so Ascii 158
               was used.  Please note that the "₧" character
               will only issue a form feed to the printer when
               the internal Memo Master editors are used.
               (This function will not work when you use the
               print block routine)

Version 3.50 - Added an Appointment/To Do Manager.
(Release 1)

Version 3.50 - Changed opening screen way of checking ALL
(Release 3)    DATABASES for reminders. (Faster)

Version 3.55 - Added a dialer. ([Alt] [D])  When in the memo/text
(Release 1)    field, move the cursor to the number you want to
               dial and hit Alt-D to dial.  The dialer will read
               16 characters from the cursor position.  BE SURE TO
               TELL MEMO MASTER WHICH COM PORT TO USE BY PICKING,
               S. Setup Option Menu. FROM THE MAIN MENU.

Version 3.55 - Speeded up searching multiple databases.  It no longer
(Release 2)    pauses at the end of each database the search string is
               not found in.

Version 3.55 - Changed the Alt = calculator to a new movable one!
(Release 5)    (Alt-F10 will let you change the calculator colors
               for the current session.) [*Note* The solar calculator
               is still in the internal editor.]

Version 3.56 - Added the ability to print all database records!
(Release 1)    (Good idea Joe Fera)  This option can be found at the
               5. Data Backup / Print Menu. option on the main menu.

Version 4.00 - Changed the appointment manager to a much better new one!
(Release 1)    Sorry but the new format is not compatable with the old
               TODO.DAT format. TODO.EXE is included for use of the old
               format.

*When running MEMO, always change to the directory where MEMO.EXE is
located.  MEMO will create database files if they don't exist.  For
calling MEMO from anywhere, you can add this batch file (MEMO.BAT)
to your batch file directory or any directory that is in you path:

                        @Echo Off
                        C:
                        cd \MEMO
                        MEMO %1

In the above example batch file you would, of course, change the
drive and directory to match where you installed MEMO.

*NOTE* IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED USER, WRITE DOWN YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER
       AND REGISTRATION NUMBER JUST AS IT APPEARS ON THE TITLE SCREEN FOR
       FUTURE REFERENCE.  IF YOU SEE A VERSION LATER THAN THE ONE YOU HAVE
       ON A BBS, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AND USE THE YOUR REGISTRATION
       INFORMATION TO REGISTER THE PROGRAM.  TO DO SO, TYPE MEMO /REGISTER
       ENTER YOUR NAME, PHONE NUMBER, AND REGISTRATION NUMBER EXACTLY THE
       WAY IT APPEARS ON THE TITLE SCREEN NOW.

       (EXE file must be in it's original form for this procedure to work.)
        If you are using OS/2, a special technique is required to enable
        this procedure since OS/2 will not let an EXE file to be written to
        while it is open.  To register MEMO.EXE under OS/2, copy MEMO.EXE to
        TEMP.EXE and the run TEMP /Register.  After the registration
        procedure is completed, you can delete the TEMP.EXE file.
        (You might have to use this technique with some DOS 6.x setups)
