DESCRIPTION
===========
PowerNotes for Windows95/NT a form of Notes Management
software designed to allow users create & maintain
vasts amount of notes containing assortment of
information within a single file. Ideal for keeping
any type of free-form text such as email addresses,
contact names, shopping lists, financial information,
to-do lists, and just about everything else!

All notes are kept in a dynamically resident index,
sorted in alphabetical order allowing users to quickly
search, add, edit and delete notes with minimum of fuss.
A sample powernote file is also included for you to
experiment.

I hope you enjoy PowerNotes as much as the author had
in designing it. Thanks.
