What Is StickIt ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        StickIt is a computer replacement for the ol' Post-It note. It
allows you to stick notes onto your screen which will be displayed
every time you re-boot; useful to remind you of things to do.

Features
~~~~~~~~
        o       Unlimited number of notes on screen.
        o       The notes remember where you left them.
        o       User-defined font name/size.
        o       User-defined note size.
        o       User-defined text/background colour (yep, they can be yellow
                if you want !)
        o       User-defined delay at startup to avoid disk thrashing.
        o       User-defined filename for note information.
        o       Standard Workbench 2 interface, with keyboard shortcuts.
                Designed with the wonderful "GadToolsBox" by Jan van den
                Baard.


Why Did I Write StickIt ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        StickIt was written with a job to do... to replace all the bits
of paper I used to leave around to remind me to do something. I have
tried to write a program to do that with the minimum of fuss and with
a nice clean Workbench 2 interface. I have tried to make the program
configurable enough for each user's needs, without over-doing it.
There was no such utility available in the Public Domain at the time.

Limitations
~~~~~~~~~~~
        o       All data is stored in a linked list and so there is no limit
to the number of notes available for use.
        o       29 characters can be used in the `Title' field.
        o       255 characters can be used in the `Note' field.

StickIt-1.02 Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	o Bug fixed with note refresh; background of note was not correctly
redrawn if any colour other than the Workbench colour was used. *
	o Added "Notes..." button to edit window. *
	o <RETURN> now cycles through the string gadgets, like <TAB>. *
	o There are now keyboard shortcuts available for the StickIt notes: *
		"f" - bring note to front.
		"b" - send note to back.
		"h" - hides the note (same as double-clicking on the note).
		"e" - calls up edit window (same as clicking the right
		      mouse button on the note).

	o Note that my Email address is now in the more conventional form.
 
* Found / suggested by Raoul Rodriguez.

StickIt-1.03 Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	o Bug fixed which caused an almighty system crash if you tried
to run StickIt on any system less than 2.04. This was due to the cleanup()
function being incorrectly set up if any library less than V37 was found.
Anyone who had the full 2.04 setup installed is unaffected, however the
smaller diskfont.library (the one without scalable fonts) is actually V36
and caused StickIt to fail. *

* Found by John McKillop.

	Finally, on a more pleasent note, I would like to thank everyone over
the last few months who has taken the time to write to me and comment on
StickIt. I have tried to reply to everyone who has left a reply address, If
you've written and I haven't written back then a big "THANK YOU" !

	Many thanks again,

			Andy Dean.
