Notes-mode ---------- by John Heidemann, For documentation, see notes-mode.info notes-mode.ps.gz HTML/notes-mode.html or WHAT'S NEW IN NOTES-MODE? ------------------------- Changed ( 8-Aug-08): version 1.27: Change I/O in @file{mkindexcache} to use locale (the sadly correct thing) rather than forcing utf-8 (the Righteous Path). Bug report from Geoff Kuenning, a man with an older Unix environment than I. WHAT IS NOTES-MODE? ------------------- (From the info documentation) Notes-mode is an indexing system for on-line note-taking. Notes-mode is composed of two parts, the visible part, a major-mode for emacs to aid note-taking; and the invisible part, scripts which periodically index your notes for you. For more sales, including Why keep notes? Why keep notes on-line? Why keep notes with notes-mode? see REQUIREMENTS ------------ Notes-mode requires emacs or xemacs version 19 or 20 (or possibly later) and Perl-5. For information: emacs http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html xemacs http://www.xemacs.org perl http://www.perl.com INSTALLATION ------------ First, get notes mode from . To install the basic package: 1. ./configure 2. make install (To control what's installed where, use --prefix=/where, or --with-lisp-dir=/where, --datadir=/where (for scripts), and --infodir=/where.) For each user: 1. Run notesinit (from where it's installed, /usr/local/bin/notesinit by default) If you have problems with paths being incorrect, please be aware that you CANNOT run notes directly out of where you untar it. The installation process customizes the programs for where things are on your system. Make sure you move out of the directory where you untarred it before running it. After you've installed notes mode you're encouraged to subscribe to the mailing lists: Send the message "subscribe" to notes-mode-announce-request@heidemann.la.ca.us and notes-mode-talk-request@heidemann.la.ca.us.
