  16 Changed ( 8-Aug-08): version 1.27:
  17
  18 Change I/O in @file{mkindexcache} to use locale (the sadly correct thing)
  19 rather than forcing utf-8 (the Righteous Path).
  20 Bug report from Geoff Kuenning, a man with an older Unix environment than I.

  23 WHAT IS NOTES-MODE?
  24 -------------------
  25
  26 (From the info documentation)
  27
  28 Notes-mode is an indexing system for on-line note-taking.
  29 Notes-mode is composed of two parts, the visible part, a major-mode for
  30 emacs to aid note-taking; and the invisible part, scripts which
  31 periodically index your notes for you.

  51 INSTALLATION
  52 ------------
  53
  54 First, get notes mode from <http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/SOFTWARE/NOTES_MODE/>.
  55
  56 To install the basic package:
  57         1. ./configure
  58         2. make install
  59
  60 (To control what's installed where, use --prefix=/where, or
  61 --with-lisp-dir=/where, --datadir=/where (for scripts),
  62 and --infodir=/where.)
  63
  64 For each user:
  65         1. Run notesinit
  66                 (from where it's installed, /usr/local/bin/notesinit
  67                 by default)
  68
  69 If you have problems with paths being incorrect, please be aware that
  70 you CANNOT run notes directly out of where you untar it.  The
  71 installation process customizes the programs for where things are on
  72 your system.  Make sure you move out of the directory where you
  73 untarred it before running it.
  74
  75 After you've installed notes mode you're encouraged to subscribe
  76 to the mailing lists:
  77 Send the message "subscribe" to
  78         notes-mode-announce-request@heidemann.la.ca.us and
  79         notes-mode-talk-request@heidemann.la.ca.us.
  80 (Or use majordomo@heidemann.la.ca.us.)
