Welcome to BlockNotes digital memo maker for the Palm OS. My name is Jared and am the author of this application.

BlockNotes  represents the culmination of some three years of involvement with the Palm OS community. It all started with a little program for making Palm applications called PDA Toolbox and a very special group of internet friends who support the platform. In fact they are such a great group of people that I founded www.pdatnutsandbolts.com as the support forum for our merry little band of developers.. Though the group is now in the capable hands of Rick Sands I am a regular visitor to our forum and an enthusiast of the platform we use to create our software.

If you enjoy your PDA and are intrigued by the thought of creating your own custom applications visit www.pdatnutsandbolts.com. There you will find links for both PDAToolbox SE and PDAToolbox Pro. More importantly you will find an enthusiastic group of developers who will show you how easy it is to get started. 

     

BlockNotes the application (.prc) comes installed with one set of Titles and one set of Icons... on board as it were. For additional Titles and Icons download Title and Icon Packs from your favorite palm software site.

 

BlockNotes Application:

BlockNotes installation employs the use of self extracting files. It also provides an uninstaller. I recommend using the uninstaller to remove all files associated with BlockNotes.

1) Download and open .zip or .sit files.

2) Install the BlockNotes.prc and BNUninstall.prc files onto your device.

3) Launch BlockNotes. This will install all files and launch the application immediately after install.

 

Titles and Icons:

Download and install .prc files included with BNTitles Pack and BNIcons Pack.

2) Upgrades for minor releases and bug fixes are free. An upgrade fee for major releases will be assessed for registered users.

3) Bare in mind that this is the initial release of BlockNotes. It has been tested on the Palm OS Emulator and on my Tungstun E. As with all software there are bound to be a few bugs. Please report any bugs via the email link on the site from which you downloaded the software. Registered users will receive contact and support links with your registration confirmation.

Support Software

1) You can create your own image blanks with BlockLoader. This is independently developed software offered by fredsware.com. While I endorse this great application I do not support it. Refer all questions and bug reports to the developer. 

Known Issues

1) Currently the alarm features do not work properly on the Tungstun T3. The image gets erased when setting the alarm field. I am working to resolve this issue and will hopefully have it addressed by the next upgrade release.
