                             INSTALLATION
                            
        If you have Microsoft Windows, see the section "Setting up NoteWare 
        for Microsoft Windows" on page 6.

        If you have a previous version of NoteWare, please see the
        "UPGRADING" sections on this page.
        
        If you're installing NoteWare from a floppy disk, choose one of 
        the following installation methods.  If you downloaded NoteWare 
        from a bulletin board, or installed it from a CD-ROM, NoteWare 
        is already on your hard disk--you do not need to reinstall it.

                                              
                        AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION   
        
        Automatic installation will create a directory on your hard 
        disk and copy NoteWare's files to that directory.  It will
        optionally load NoteWare each time you boot.
                        
        Put the NoteWare disk into drive A:.  Type A:INSTALL at the DOS 
        prompt and answer the two installation questions.

                                                    
                      DO-IT-YOURSELF INSTALLATION   
                                                   
        If you prefer to install NoteWare yourself, create a new 
        directory and copy NoteWare's files into it.  Be sure to 
        add the directory to the DOS search path.  
        
        For instance, if you create a directory named C:\NOTE, type 
        the following command:  COPY A:\*.* C:\NOTE 

                        UPGRADING FROM VERSION 1.X

        If you have version 1.x of NoteWare, follow these steps to 
        install version 3.0:
 
        1.  Unload NoteWare by typing NOTEWARE /U.
        2.  Rename your NOTEWARE.DTA file to NOTEWARE.OLD.
        3.  Delete the other NoteWare 1.x files.
        4.  Copy the NoteWare 3.0 files to the directory where
            NOTEWARE.OLD is.  For example:  COPY A:*.*  C:\NOTEWR
        5.  Run the program UPGRADE.  
        6.  Delete NOTEWARE.OLD.

                        UPGRADING FROM VERSION 2.X 
 
        If you have version 2.x of NoteWare, follow these steps to 
        install version 3.0:


                                      -4-                                       
                                                                                


 
        1.  Unload NoteWare by typing NOTEWARE /U. 
        2.  Rename your NOTEWARE.DTA file to NOTEWARE.OLD. 
        3.  Delete the other NoteWare 2.x files. 
        4.  Copy the NoteWare 3.0 files to the directory where 
            NOTEWARE.OLD is.  For example:  COPY A:*.*  C:\NOTEWR 
        5.  Run the program UPGRADE2. 
        6.  Delete NOTEWARE.OLD. 
                                       
                            NORMAL STARTUP   
                                        
        At the C: prompt, type NoteWare and press the <Enter> key.  
        You will see the following message: 
 
                    ͻ 
                      NoteWare is now resident.           
                      Press  Ctrl-spacebar to activate.   
                      To unload: type NOTEWARE/U <Enter>  
                    ͼ 

        This message indicates NoteWare has been successfully 
        loaded into memory.  When you want to activate NoteWare, 
        hold down the Ctrl key and press the spacebar.  NoteWare's 
        Welcome Screen will greet you.  Please read the Welcome 
        Screen, then start using NoteWare. 
 
        If you don't want NoteWare to occupy conventional memory, read 
        the next section, "ADVANCED STARTUP". 

        If you prefer a different hotkey, see the "HOTKEY" section
        on page 16.
                                                
                           ADVANCED STARTUP (Upper Memory)
                                                
        If you don't want NoteWare to occupy any conventional memory, 
        you have the option of using the "load high" command.  The 
        "load high" command installs a memory resident program into 
        your PC's Upper Memory Area (between 640K and 1 meg). 
 
        The "load high" command is only available on those PC's that 
        meet certain hardware requirements and use a memory manager 
        such as EMM386 or QEMM.  We recommend referring to your DOS 
        manual or other memory manager documentation for instructions 
        about how to load TSR's high.  For example, the "LOADHIGH" 
        command in DOS 5 (or 6) only works if you have a 386 or later 
        computer and your CONFIG.SYS contains the following commands: 
 
              DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS 
              DEVICE=EMM386.EXE 
              DOS=HIGH 


                                      -5-                                       
                                                                                


 
        If your computer is set up this way, you would type "LOADHIGH 
        NOTEWARE" at the DOS prompt. 
 
        If you use a "load high" command to install NoteWare, you 
        should also use a "load high" command to unload it.  For example, 
        using DOS 5 (or 6) you would type "LOADHIGH NOTEWARE /U". 

                       
                   SETTING UP NOTEWARE FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS

        To install NoteWare for Windows, run A:SETUP. SETUP will create a 
        Program Manager group called NoteWare and install NoteWare's files.
        
        You can make NoteWare easier to access by assigning it a 
        shortcut key.  Click once on NoteWare, select "File" from
        Program Manager, then choose "Properties".  Enter the desired 
        key in the "Shortcut key" field.  We suggest "n" for "notes".
        
        Windows shortcut keys do not work when another application is 
        running in the foreground.  If you want to use NoteWare while 
        running another application, first minimize the application, 
        then access NoteWare.  When you're done using NoteWare, exit 
        it and restore the application to its original size.
        
        You'll have access to your notes from both DOS and Windows if
        you load NoteWare before starting Windows.  One way to do this 
        is to add "C:\NOTEWR\NOTEWARE" to your AUTOEXEC.BAT (select
        "File" from the Notepad to edit it).  This will enable you 
        to pop up NoteWare over any DOS window.  You'll also be able 
        to pop up NoteWare after you've exited Windows. 
              
                     THE NON-TSR VERSION OF NOTEWARE   
    
        To run NoteWare as an application program without the pop-up 
        capability, type NOTEWARE.EXE.  This non-TSR version of NoteWare 
        is provided in case you run into a problem running NoteWare as 
        a TSR.  This version is also used when NoteWare is run as a 
        Windows application.
                                                  
                          UNLOADING NOTEWARE   
                                     
        To unload NoteWare, type NOTEWARE /U at the DOS prompt.  
        Before you unload it, be sure that NoteWare is the last memory 
        resident program loaded.  You do not need to unload NoteWare 
        each time you turn off your computer.  This option is provided 
        for a variety of reasons: you may want to defragment your hard 
        disk (see "A Few No-No's, page 18), upgrade to a newer version

                          HOW TO USE NOTEWARE  
        
        The first time you pop up NoteWare, it displays a Welcome
        Screen.  When you are ready to write your first note, press
        F2.  NoteWare will give you a blank screen to write on.  When 
        you're done writing, press <Esc>.  The note will be 
        automatically saved to disk.
                                         
        The next time you pop up NoteWare, your note will be displayed.
        You can either edit it, create a new one, or view the other notes.
                                                   
        The bottom line of NoteWare's screen summarizes the commands 
        that are currently available.  Normally this is a list of 
        function keys.  If you press and hold the Ctrl key, you will 
        see the Ctrl key options on the bottom line.  The bottom line 
        also provides instructions while you are performing certain 
        commands.  So, if you're not sure what to do, look at the 
        bottom line, it should help!

                             CURSOR MOVEMENT   
                                               
        In addition to the standard movement of the left, right, up 
        and down arrows, NoteWare provides the following ways to move 
        the cursor:

           To Move the Cursor to:                   Press 
           ----------------------                   -----
           The end of the current line              <End>
           The first column of the current line     <Home>
           The next tab-stop (every 8th column)     <Tab>
           The beginning of the current note        Ctrl Home
           The end of the current note              Ctrl End
           The beginning of the previous word       Ctrl left arrow
           The beginning of the next word           Ctrl right arrow  

                       CREATING AND DELETING NOTES
                          
        Create a Note:  F2 and Ctrl I
        ------------------------------
        To create a new note, use either F2 (New) or Ctrl I (Insert).
        Press F2 to append the new note to your other notes.  Press
        Ctrl I to insert the new note after the current note.
        
        When you press F2 or Ctrl I, NoteWare saves the current note
        to disk and then clears the screen.
        
        Form Entry - Ctrl F
        -------------------
        This feature makes it easy to take phone messages. to fill in 
        order blanks, to input customer information, etc.  


                                      -8-                                       
                                                                                



        Each time you press Ctrl F, NoteWare displays a blank form 
        to fill in.  The form we've provided is a phone message pad. 
        When you want to take a message, press Ctrl F.  The screen will
        display the phone message form, and the cursor will move to
        the space following "Message to:".  After you enter the name,
        press TAB to move to "Date/Time".  Press Ctrl D and Ctrl T
        to insert the current date and time, then press TAB to move 
        to "From:".  Fill in the rest of the form the same way.  When
        you press Ctrl F again, you get another blank form.

        After you've filled in a form, you may wish to press Ctrl C
        to clean up the unused lines from the note.  Do not clean up the
        note until you're finished: the TAB key movement depends
        upon a marker, ASCII 254 (), which would be erased if you
        pressed Ctrl C.
        
        If you want to change the form, edit the ASCII file NOTEWARE.FRM 
        in NoteWare's directory.  You can either use NoteWare itself to
        save a new version of NOTEWARE.FRM, or any editor that can save
        ASCII files.  If you want the TAB key to stop at the beginning 
        of a field, use ASCII 254 as a marker.  (While holding the Alt 
        key, press 254).  If you want to be able to press Ctrl C to
        clean up the note after writing it, we recommend ASCII 196 to
        draw horizontal lines.
        
        Shred the Current Note - F5 
        ---------------------------
        Press F5 to shred the current note.  The bottom line will
        ask: "Shred this Note (Y/N)?".  Press Y to shred the note,
        or press N.

                              EDITING NOTES
        
        Delete a Line - F3 
        ------------------                    
        Press F3 to delete the current line of text.  The lines of
        text below the current line move up one line.  The deleted
        line is stored in the Clipboard.  The Clipboard is a temporary 
        storage area where cut, copied, and deleted text is placed. 
        Whenever text is placed into the Clipboard, the previous 
        contents of the Clipboard are erased.

                        
        Block - F9
        ----------         
        To use the Block of Text function:
        1.  Move the cursor to where you want the text to begin and 
            press F9.  
        2.  If you want to block a rectangular area, answer Y to the


                                      -9-                                       
                                                                                


            Column question.  Otherwise press <Enter>.  The bottom line 
            displays the Block options: Export, Save to File, Cut, 
            Copy, Bright, and Dim.  The Cut and Copy options are not
            available in Column Block mode.
        3.  Highlight the text by moving the cursor to where you
            want the block to end. 
        4.  Select one of the following block commands:
        
            Alt E  Exports the block directly into the current 
                   program, usually a word processor.
            Alt S  Saves the block as an ASCII file.  When NoteWare
                   prompts you for a filename, type any valid DOS 
                   filename.  The drive and directory are optional.  
                   If you choose LPT1, the block of text will print.
            Alt T  Cuts (removes) the block and places it in the 
                   Clipboard.
            Alt C  Copies the block into the Clipboard.
            Alt B  Makes the block bright.
            Alt D  Makes the block dim.
        
        Paste Text - F4
        ---------------
        Press F4 to paste any text currently in the Clipboard to the 
        current cursor location.  
        
        When you do a Block Copy (Alt C), Block Cut (Alt T), or Delete
        a Line (F3), the selected text goes into the Clipboard.
        
        If you accidentally delete a line, you can "undelete" it by 
        pressing F4. 
        
        Since the Clipboard is not erased when you press F4, you can 
        paste the same text again by pressing F4.

        Date - Ctrl D
        -------------
        Press Ctrl D to enter the current date at the cursor location.
        
        The format of the date is day, month, and year, as in the 
        following example:  23 Dec 93.


        Time - Ctrl T
        -------------
        Press Ctrl T to enter the current time at the cursor location.
        
        The default format of the time is the US-style am/pm.  You can 
        change to 24-format by running the OPTIONS program before you 
        load NoteWare into memory.



                                      -10-                                      
                                                                                


        Original - Ctrl O
        -----------------
        Press Ctrl O to read the original version of the current note 
        from disk.  Use this option when you've accidentally messed 
        up a note and want to retrieve it from disk.

        Clean - Ctrl C
        --------------
        Press Ctrl C to clean up all "garbage" ASCII characters from 
        the current note.  Any ASCII character less than 32 or 
        greater than 127 will be erased.  Use this function after 
        capturing a screen having garbage characters, or after 
        filling in a form.

        Press PgDn to move to the next note.  If no more notes exist,
        no action is taken.  If you want a new note, press F2 (New).
        
        Press PgUp to move to the previous note.
        
        Press Ctrl PgDn to move to the last note.
        
        Press Ctrl PgUp to move to the first note.
        
        Index of Notes - F6
        -------------------                   
        The Index of Notes enables you to select notes from a menu.
        Press F6 to see the first line of text of each note; the
        current note is highlighted.  You select a note by moving 
        the highlight bar to the desired note, and pressing <Enter>.  
        
        If all your notes don't fit on the Index screen, use the 
        PgDn and PgUp keys to scroll through the Index. 

        Search for Text - F7
        --------------------                   
        Press F7 to search for a string of text within the notes.  
        After you type the string of text, NoteWare will search for it 
        in all notes, starting at the current cursor location.  If the 
        string is found, the cursor moves to that location.  
        
        The search is case-insensitive, i.e., it will find Smith, 
        SMITH, and smith.

        The search string is preserved each time you perform a search.  
        To search for the next occurrence of the same string, press F7 
        and <Enter>.

        Press F10 to see a list of files in the current directory.  The
        maximum number of files displayed is 110 (5 columns of 22 files
        each).  Move the highlight bar to the desired file or

        --  Use the cursor keys to scroll through the file.
        --  Press S to search for a string of text.
        --  Press E to export a block of text.
        --  Press C to capture the portion of the file currently 
            displayed into a new note.
        --  Press F to freeze the file at the current location, so 
            that you can resume viewing it later.
        --  Press <Esc> to cancel.
        
        View a File - Ctrl V
        --------------------         
        This feature enables you to view any ASCII file on your 
        disk.  If you wish to find a string of text in a file, 
        the Text Search option will quickly find it.  If you want 
        to export a portion of the file into a word processor, 
        use the Exporting feature.  You can also capture part of 
        the file into a note by choosing the Capture option.
        
        Press Ctrl V to select the View File option.  You can enter
        any valid DOS filename, such as C:\*.*, *.DOC, or README.TXT.
        If your request includes a wildcard (* or ?), NoteWare will
        display a list of all matching files and directories.  It
        will display a maximum of 110 files (5 columns of 22 files
        each).  Move the highlight bar to the desired file or 
        directory.  The file's date, time, and size are displayed 
        in the lower left of the screen.  Press <Enter> to view
        the file, or press E to export the name of the highlighted 
        file (including the drive letter and directory).
        
        If you press <Enter> to view the file, the beginning of the 
        file will be displayed.  Your options are:




                                      -12-                                      
                                                                                


        
        --  Use the cursor keys to scroll through the file.
        --  Press S to search for a string of text.
        --  Press E to export a block of text.
        --  Press C to capture the portion of the file currently 
            displayed into a new note.
        --  Press F to freeze the file at the current location, so 
            that you can resume viewing it later.
        --  Press <Esc> to cancel.
        
        Resume - Ctrl R
        ---------------
        If you selected Freeze (F) after viewing a file, you can press
        Ctrl R to resume viewing the file exactly where you left off.
        All functions (scrolling, searching, etc.) are available.  
        
        When viewing a file, you must press F (Freeze) to enable the 
        Resume feature.  If you press <Esc>, you will not be able 
        to use Resume.

        Save a Note as an ASCII File - Ctrl S
        -------------------------------------          
        Press Ctrl S to save the current note as an ASCII file.  
        When NoteWare prompts you for the filename, type any valid 
        DOS filename.  The drive and directory are optional.
        
        If the file already exists, NoteWare will ask if you want
        to overwrite it or append to it.
        
        You can print the note by typing LPT1 as the filename.  
        Type LPT2 for printer 2, etc.

                              SCREEN CAPTURE
        
        Capture - F8
        ------------
        When you are using another program and want to save what's 
        on your screen, pop up NoteWare and press F8 (Capture).   
        You can either save screen as a file, as a new note, or 
        import part of the screen into the current note.
        
        After you press F8, the bottom line of the screen displays
        a list of options.  The options are:
        
        --  Press F to save the screen as a file.  When NoteWare 
            prompts you for the filename, type any valid DOS filename.
            
        --  Press <Enter> to capture the entire screen into a new 
            note.  You don't need to do F2 first, as NoteWare will 
            create a new note for you.


                                      -13-                                      
                                                                                


            
        --  Press I to import a portion of the screen into the current 
            note.  To select a portion of the screen, move the cursor
            to where you want the block to begin and press <Enter>.
            Highlight the text by moving the cursor to where you
            want the block to end.  Press <Enter> to import the block 
            into the current note at the current cursor location.
            
        All 25 lines will be captured if you choose F (filename).  A 
        maximum of 23 lines can be captured with the other two options.


                        MISCELLANEOUS FUNCTIONS

        Move a Note - Ctrl M
        --------------------
        This function enables you to change the order of your notes. 
        Press Ctrl M to move the current note.  Use the PgUp and 
        PgDn keys to select a new location for it, and press <Enter>
        to place it at that spot.
        
        Brightness - Ctrl B 
        -------------------
        Press Ctrl B to change the brightness of what you type.  If
        the text had been bright, any new text you type will be dim.  
        If it had been dim, new text will be bright.  
        
        If you want to change the brightness of what you've already 
        written, use the Block Option (F9) and select Bright (Alt B) 
        or Dim (Alt D).






















                                      -14-                                      
                                                                                


       
        HELP SCREEN - F1
        ----------------                                        
        The F1 key brings up a Help Screen.  When you press it, you'll 
        see the following:

             ---------   N o t e W a r e    H e l p   ---------- 
 F2 New      Creates a new note.  The screen clears automatically.

                             PRINTING NOTES   
                                              
        To print notes, type PRINTNW at the DOS prompt.  This program
        displays the first line of text of each note, exactly like the 
        Index Function.  The bottom line of the screen describes the
        available options.  
        
        You can tag individual notes to be printed by pressing T, or 
        tag all by pressing A.  If you decide that you don't want a 
        note to be printed, press U to untag a note, or N to uNtag all 
        notes.  Press F10 to accept the list of tagged notes.
         
        The program will then ask you how many lines per page should 
        be printed, and the filename.  You can also choose  whether 
        the current time and date should be printed, and whether to 
        print only one note per page.  Press F9 to save your settings.




                                      -15-                                      
                                                                                


        Although the default is still LPT1, you can change this to 
        any filename, including a disk file.  If you choose a filename 
        that does not start with the letters LPT, the other settings 
        (lines-per-page, date & time, etc.) will be ignored. 


                             HOTKEY SELECTION 

        NoteWare's hotkey combination is Ctrl-spacebar.  If you want 
        to change the hotkey combination, type HOTKEY at the DOS 
        prompt.   A menu of available hotkeys will be displayed.  
        Choose between Alt/Ctrl/Shift spacebar, and for most keyboards 
        F11 and F12 (with or without the Alt key).  The new hotkey 
        combination will take effect the next time you load NoteWare 
        into memory. 


                                  TIPS
                                  
        Reading On-disk Documentation
        -----------------------------
        NoteWare provides a convenient way to read on-disk documentation
        while you use other software.  When you want to read a file on
        disk, pop up NoteWare and press F10 (Directory).  Move the 
        highlight bar to the documentation file and press <Enter>.  Use
        the cursor keys to browse the file, or the Search function to 
        find a specific subject.  After you've found a subject, choose 
        the Freeze function to freeze the file at that spot, so that 
        you can use the resume function (Ctrl R) to view the file later.

        To read NoteWare's manual, press F10, highlight MANUAL.TXT
        and press <Enter>.

        Making Your Own Pop-Up Help
        ---------------------------
        You can make your software life a little easier by writing
        notes to yourself that describe how to use your software.
        After you've learned something from a manual or on-screen
        Help, add it to a note.  Later on, when you need to use the same 
        feature, your instructions will be there, in your own words!
        This type of note can save you a lot of grief, especially when 
        the manual wasn't helpful and you had to figure it out yourself.  
        
        We suggest you keep a note for each software package you use.  
        Begin the note with a descriptive title at the top -- this will
        make it easy to find in the Index (F6).  Type a short summary 
        of whatever you think you may forget.  Move to the next program,
        enter its title and your reminders.  Later, when you want to 
        add to your pop-up Help,  select the desired note from the 
        Index and enter the new comment to the note.  If the on-screen 


                                      -16-                                      
                                                                                


        Help is useful, you can capture as much of it as you like 
        with the Import option of Capture (F8).
        
        But don't limit your "help" notes to only software.  Think about
        the other procedures you use in the office or at home, and 
        make notes about them.

        Calendars
        ---------
        Another use of NoteWare is to keep simple monthly calendars.  
        Take a look at the November 1993 note (this is the month
        that version 3.0 was released).  Each day has enough space for 
        three short entries.  When you make an entry in a calendar,
        NoteWare automatically changes to Typeover mode.  This 
        prevents the mess you'd see if Insert mode had been used.
        
        We've included eight months of calendars as ASCII files.
        When you want to add another month as a note, press Ctrl V
        and type C:\NOTEWR\*.* (the location of NoteWare's files).
        Move the highlight bar to the desired month, press <Enter>,
        then press C to capture the month.

        Rolodex
        -------
        It's easy to set up a Rolodex using NoteWare.  Enter each  
        person's name and phone number on a line of a note,  Type
        the address if available,  You don't need to keep the names
        in alphabetical order. 
        
        When you need a phone number, pop up NoteWare, then press 
        F7 (Search) and type the name of the person you're calling. 
        The cursor will move to the person's name and phone number.
     
        Give Each Note a Title
        ----------------------
        The simplest way to access a note is from the Index (F6).  
        The Index displays the first non-blank line of text of each
        note.  If you write the top line of each note with this 
        mind, you'll be able to easily recognize them.  The sample 
        notes have titles that show up clearly on the Index screen. 

                             LAPTOP COMPUTERS
 
        Many laptops use a monochrome screen with a color adaptor.
        If your laptop shows bright letters on a dark background and 
        you want to reverse this, type NOTEWARE /M at the DOS prompt.  
        This tells NoteWare that your monitor is monochrome.





                                      -17-                                      
                                                                                


                              GRAPHICS SCREENS
                              
        NoteWare is not directly accessible from programs that display 
        graphics images.  However, you can access NoteWare if the
        program has a "shell" or "Go to DOS" function:

             1. Activate the "shell" or "Go to DOS" function.
             2. Pop up NoteWare and do your work.
             3, Press <Esc> to exit NoteWare.
             4. Type EXIT to return to your program.  

        This approach makes it possible to make pop-up Help for 
        complicated graphics programs.  See "TIPS" on page 16 for
        more about pop-up Help.

        If you're using a program which has both text and graphics
        modes, such as WordPerfect 6.0, you can access NoteWare by
        switching to text mode, and then pressing the hotkey.  This
        would be helpful if you wanted to do a screen capture, for
        instance.

        If you press NoteWare's hotkey combination when your screen 
        is displaying a graphics image, NoteWare will not be activated.  
        Instead you will hear a short beep. 

                       CHANGING THE TIME FORMAT

        The default format of the time is AM/PM.  To change the format to 
        24 hour, type OPTIONS at the C: prompt before loading NoteWare. 

                      USING NOTEWARE ON A NETWORK
                                           
        To use NoteWare on a network, install NoteWare on each 
        workstation rather than the network server.  This prevents 
        the possibility of two users trying to access the same 
        NOTEWARE.DTA file on the server at the same time.         
        
        Discounts are available for multiple-user installations:  
        see the ORDERF.ORM file for details.
   

                               A FEW NO-NO'S
                               
        -- Don't load a TSR (a memory-resident program) from within 
           a DOS shell.  Be sure to exit the shell before loading 
           the TSR.  Otherwise you may need to reboot.

        -- Don't run a hard disk defragmenting program while NoteWare
           is loaded.  This would definitely trash your notes and may
           cause some damage to the File Allocation Table of your disk.
           Always unload NoteWare using the /U command before 
           defragmenting your disk.
           
        -- Don't move or delete the NOTEWARE.DTA file while Noteware
           is loaded.  This could cause the same trouble mentioned 
           above.  Unload NoteWare first before moving or deleting 
           NOTEWARE.DTA.
            
        -- Don't turn your computer off while NoteWare is on the 
           screen.  This would prevent the last changes you made from

           NoteWare before turning your computer off.  This writes the 
           current note to disk. 
           
        -- Only export text when your word processor is ready to 
           receive the text.  You would get strange results if the 
           word processor was at a pull-down menu, for instance.

        Shareware Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure that 
        the shareware principle works for you.  If you are unable to 
        resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by 
        contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help.  The 
        ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
        an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for 
        members' products.  Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545
