InternetNotePad! v1.4
---------------------

(This is mostly a duplicate of HELP.TXT included since some ftp sites
require a readme.txt file to be enclosed.)

Most of the help is avaiable within the program
by clicking HELP.

InternetNotePad! The first of its kind! A notepad program that actually
reads/writes documents on the Internet. InternetNotepad! is just like
the notepad program issued with Windows, but allows you to work over
the Internet.

Great for : frequent updates of web pages - no more edit, upload, edit
            upload some more... just edit and save! So easy!

            writing programming source code

            creating quick internet batch files, asp, perl

            replacing unix commands like Pico, VI, Emacs
            .. much more!

------
-Note- In The Unregistered Version :
------
The trial period for Unregistered InternetNotePad! is 20-days.
You will be posted warnings on day 10 and 20. After 20 days,
the program will not save files until you register.

The registration amount is a very modest ($18) compared to the power
of this program. Please click REGISTER on the main menu in the
program for details.

------------------ HELP ON SETTINGS -------------------------
=============================================================
If you have trouble with the settings of the program
a short description of SETTINGS follows:

In the SITE field, enter a full site name
such as : eagle.geocities.com
	  somewhere.someplace.com
	  123.456.789
	  etc.

In the USER and PASSWORD fields, enter your username
and password such as :
	  harry123
	  ******
	  etc.
This should be fairly self explanatory.

-----------------
Note : AOL USERS - Enter the following for your settings - AOL USERS
Site Name : members.aol.com
User Name : anonymous
Password  : your_user_name@aol.com
Remote Dir: your_user_name
-----------------

Clicking on SAVE PASSWORD IN PREFERENCES indicates whether you
want the password _also_ remembered in the preference file (along
with the other fields you entered). This is so that each time you
run the program, the fields are remembered and filled in for you.
Some people wouldn't want the password stored in a file for security
reasons.
However, InternetNotePad! includes password encryption in the data file
so that you can not view the password.

Once you're satisfied with the entry, click OK to save it.

====================================================================
- SAVES MULTIPLE FTP SITES IN PREFERENCES -
====================================================================

You can enter multiple sites by simply entering a new site name,
user information, password and click OK.

-- Selecting the Entries --
To select the different sites, you can click on the pull-down
button next to the SITE name field and it will list all the ftp sites
you have entered.
Once you select a site, the username, password, and other fields
will fill in automatically to what you had them at before for that
site. Any further changes you make will be saved once you hit OK in
the settings.

-- Adding a New Entry --
If the site name field currently has something entered already (such as
a previously selected ftp site) just begin typing over it and enter
all the new information and then click OK. This will enter a new site into
the preferences file as long as the site name is a new one.

Likewise, to change any fields on an already existing entry, just select the
entry from the pulldown, modify the fields such as the password, username, or
directory, and then click OK. This will update the entry.

-- Removing an Entry --
Currently there is no Delete button for the ftp sites under the
settings screen. Therefore, if you do want to erase some ftp sites,
or just make a whole new list of sites, you'll have to delete the
file called "notepadpref.dat" (a file created by the program). This 
will force the program to create a new one for you. Maybe the next 
version I'll add a delete key for it.

I hope the controls for the Settings screen are easy to understand.
If they are not, please LET ME KNOW and I'll change them so they _are_
easy for all users to use.

- Other Notes -
===============================================================
Special Web Host Condition :

InternetNotePad! requires your FTP server to allow you the 
ability to both UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD files. Some ftp/web hosts only
allow you to upload files to their site. You must also be allowed the
ability to download from the site to use InternetNotePad!. If you
do find you have this problem, please send me an email and I will
see what I can do for you.

Opening Local Files :

InternetNotePad! does not support opening local files on your computer.
It only supports opening, editing, and saving REMOTE files on the
Internet. Future versions may include the ability to open and store
remotely local files on your computer, but this was left out of the
original version for transparency and simpilicty of the program idea.
For now, if you absolutely must open a local file to save on the internet,
you can drag & drop the file locally onto the InteretNotePad! icon
and then save it on the internet.

=============================================================
- Y2K Compliancy : InternetNotePad! IS YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT (Y2K) -
=============================================================
InternetNotePad! has been updated to include a new Year 2000 and up
data interface. If all goes well, the program should last well
into the year 9999, then again, I suppose we'll all have evolved
into something much wackier by then. :)
