The programs and documentation in this archive are Copyright (c) 1990 by Useful Software Features ~~~~~~~~ Useful Notes (Uno) is a small, fast, information manager that is suitable for a wide variety of productivity tasks. Some of Uno's features include: - can be run from command line or as TSR - number and length of notes only limited by available memory - notes can be copied, moved, sized, ordered, and locked - establish "hot links" between notes, files, and programs - typeover and insert mode editing - search keyword or full text (case sensitive or insensitive) - cut and paste - word wrap and paragraph reformat - smart indentation - easy to use consistent interface - user configurable preferences This Archive ~~~~~~~~~~~~ You should find the following files in this archive: uno.exe - Useful Notes unores.exe - Useful Notes Resident unocfg.exe - Useful Notes Configurator uno.doc - Documentation for Useful Notes tutorial.uno - A Useful Notes tutorial pile. sample.uno - Some sample Useful Notes applications readme.1st - This "read me" file. Licensing ~~~~~~~~~ Uno is a shareware information manager. This means that you only pay for it if you decide to continue using it. If you don't think that it is worth the asking price, delete the program, or better yet give it to someone who might find it useful. However if you do decide to keep Uno after a 2 week trial period, please send $20 (see REGISTRATION FORM on next page) to: Useful Software 340 Dale Crescent Waterloo, Ontario Canada, N2J 3Y3 The shareware fee pays for unlimited use of Uno by a single person. You are allowed (and encouraged) to give away copies of Uno with the understanding that each person receiving a copy is under the same obligation as you are to send in the shareware fee if they decide to keep it. You can upload THIS VERSION ONLY of Uno to other computer systems, either free or commercial, as long as this archive remains intact, with the copyright and shareware notices unchanged. Useful Notes can be installed on LANS. In such situations I ask only that the LAN Administrator estimate the maximum number of people that will be making "simultaneous" use of Uno and pay the shareware fee based on that estimate. I do not expect that the limit be closely monitored or enforced (I appreciate how much trouble that would be), but I do expect that the estimate will be revised (and additional fees paid) should a substantial increase in the number of nodes on the LAN and Uno usage occur. No guarantee is made as to the functionality of this software; however it has been tested quite thoroughly by a large number of people. If it doesn't do what you want, don't keep it and send no money. Please support the shareware concept. Shareware means useful programs at a fraction of the cost you might pay for them commercially. You can try-before-you-buy, and you are not subjected to copy protection or other atrocities that many software vendors inflict on their customers. Software updates can also be distributed much faster than is possible through normal channels. Any questions, suggestions, or bug reports, can be mailed to the above address. Enjoy.
