Here's my attempt at a new type of note program. Well, it's new to me
anyway. :)

Here's the FileID.DIZ:

"VectorNotes is like a simple "search engine" for searching a freeform text
database that you create. Use it like Notepad to store text clips, URL's,
phone numbers, and addresses. Use it like Google(c) to search for a
keyword."

Sorry, all I have is a direct link, but it's a tiny download at 235KB.

Feedback here or back channel is welcome.

Oh, and no complaints are necessary on the icon. I hate it too. :)

Where's the link ? :o)
 
http://webpages.charter.net/bobad/VectorNotes.zip

I've downloaded this 'VectorNotes.zip' twice and each time when attempting
to extract the message pops up that it is not a correct zip file. I used
ZipGenius 5 as well as BigSpeedzipper (an older extractor software) It
sounds like a handy thing to use with a lot of text files.

I confirm: the archive is corrupted.
Bob, we're waiting for another zip... :)

Ah jeeze! Sorry about that!

I just U/L it again with another FTP program.

Hi Rose,

At this time, it only works with its own file, "VectorNotes.TXT". That may
change in later betas.

Bob (the author replied)Hi Rose,

That's okay(working with its own file). I was willing to do copy paste and
reorganize a long list of assorted text files just based on the facility to
search. Collecting a few text files is okay but when it gets to be a LONG
list then some kind of management is necessary. I started using one of those
tree styled things (keynote, treepad and TreeDbnotes) and that works too.
Its still a copy,paste, organize situation.

Did you upload it to
http://webpages.charter.net/bobad/VectorNotes.zip ? and did it change from
240K to 483K?

Hovering the mouse over the extracted .exe file indicates there are 4 files.
Zipgenius did display those files after reporting there was an error.
I should have inquired in the first place if it is created to run on Win Xp
for eventually I did get the 483k zip to extract but clicking on the .exe
file produced a quick flash of a DOS dialogue box and then nothing.....well,
not quite nothing...WindowsXp Explorer had a hiccup and had to shut down so
I looked at the property sheet of the vectornotes.exe and it appears to be a
DOS or preXp type file.
What is the expected view when vectornotes loads....something similar to
Notepad or is it a Dos dialogue box?

I'm still getting a corrupted file, Bob.

I d/l ed after this post and again just now.

Power Archiver says there's a CRC error, if that helps

Try again Mike. I zipped it with yet another archiver and U/L it with yet
another FTP program.

When you build the archive are you able to open it?
Click to expand...

Sure. No problems on this end.

I can download it and unzip it just fine.

I'll keep digging.
