 Welcome to NoteFix 1.1                    (c) 94,95 Alastair L. Wilson

Thanks for getting hold of this software. It's really great when people
use the software that one has written, and so if you have eMail I'd
appreciate some feedback or comments or even just a hi there. It makes all
the effort and time that I have spent working on a project worth the while
and also inspires me to write future software.

Just eMail: alastair@dbnonline.co.za

Now that all that's over, lets get on to the good stuff!

-------
 ABOUT
-------

This little program prevents Windows from starting up Notepad even if the
file is too large for Notepad to handle. You are able to specify the
alternate file to use, the default being Write.

This program will probably give your mouse new life and save hours of
time every year!

All that I ask is that you don't change any of the files, including this one.
That's it. The software if free with no strings attached. There is no
warranty and the author is no liable for any lossed or damages suffered!

I'd appreciate some eMail just saying hi or with comments for future
improvements.

--------------
 INSTALLATION
--------------

Rename the current NOTEPAD.EXE in your Windows directory to NOTEPAD1.EXE.
Then copy the new NOTEPAD.EXE file into the Windows directory.

That's all, it will work fine, defaulting to Write for files larger than
about 47K.

For those of you that wish to use another program, other than Write,
the following lines need to be added to your WIN.INI file.

[Notepad]
Filename=WRITE.EXE

Just substitute the WRITE.EXE with the name of the editor you wish to use.

To prevent the old NOTEPAD from starting up if notepad is already loaded,
just run EDITNOTE.EXE once you have rename NOTEPAD.EXE to NOTEPAD1.EXE.
This renames NOTEPAD1.EXE so that it's internal name also changes.
