- 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.


Quick Start
~~~~~~~~~~~

You should find two sample "piles" of notes with this distribution;
tutorial.uno and sample.uno. A good way to introduce yourself to
Useful Notes is to try the tutorial. Simply type:

uno tutorial.uno

at the DOS prompt then follow the on screen instructions. You should
be able to work through the tutorial without having read the
documentation.

To explore some ideas about how Useful Notes might be used, type:

uno sample.uno

at the DOS prompt and again follow the on screen instructions.

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.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
