Welcome to BugMe! Version 2.3
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What's New
++++++++++
2.3
Added 'repeat' functionality to custom timed alarms, made 'cancel' in the custom box work like cancel should! Added a 'D' button for quick delete of pages (no warning yet, so be careful!). Fixed a glitch
where alarms that should have gone off while another alarm is being displayed aren't missed any more!

2.2
Fixed a problem with the popup menus selected when another app was running. Made the version 
number in the about box match what it really is!

2.1 
Fixed a problem with alarms after records were deleted. Fiddled with the GUI a bit - there's
now an 'N' button which makes new notes (if you've registered) and 'C' which clears.
Also added a couple of menu items to move forward and backwards, Pilot's scroll keys do this 
too. Fixed glitches with check-boxes after menu operations.

2.00
Now you can set bugs for upto 7 days ahead! Choose via the 'Custom' dialog and pick the
day you want! Title now shows more precisely when bugs are set (or not) and there is a
page counter to aid navigation

What is BugMe!?
+++++++++++++++

BugMe! lets you quickly jot notes on your Pilot and set alarms to have the notes pop-up and bug you. BugMe! lets you scribble on the screen or enter characters using Graffiti.

BugMe! is great for when you need to remember something in an hour or so and don't want to bother with the overhead of setting an alarm in the Pilot's Datebook.

Alarms can be set for a range of intervals between 1 minute and 7 days - simply scribble what you need to remember, choose when you want to be bugged and check the check-box!

You can choose from a set of fixed intervals or choose your own time within the next 7 Days. If there's a bug set then BugMe! will change its title (inside the program) to let you know when its due.

If you need to remember more than one thing (who doesn't!) then simply select the 'new page' option and scribble another note! You can scroll through your notes using the Pilot's scroll buttons. Note that the evaluation version downloadable from the Internet only supports a single reminder, mulitple reminders come after BugMe is registered.

BugMe! is compatible with the Pilot's system alarms and AlarmHack alarms.

Above all though, BugMe! is useful and fun! I hope you enjoy it.

Using BugMe!
++++++++++++

Nothing could be simpler...

Either use the pen to scribble your reminder or use Graffiti to enter some text. The text will appear where you last touched the pen on the screen. If you need to correct a mistake then tap the pen in the white box - this makes the pen into a fat erasor. Touch the pen back in the black box to get 'black ink' back again.

Set the bug time by choosing either one of the defined durations fron the pop up list or by choosing 'custom' at the bottom of the list. 'Custom' brings up a dialog which lets you select a time and day.
If the time you select is before the current time, then the alarm will be set for the time chosen on the
same day next week - so take care! The title will show the day that the alarm is set for, as well as the time. The Custom setting lets you set a repeat for alarms too, so you can be reminded daily, on weekdays, or every day.

To clear a page press the little 'C' button, to make a new page press 'N' and to delete a page press 'D'

When using multiple bugs in the registered version you can page between them by using
the Pilot's scroll buttons.

If you don't find the alarm loud or persistant enough I recommend you try AlarmHack.
This shareware utility improves all the alarms in the Pilot, and can be found at

Registering BugMe!
++++++++++++++++++

BugMe! is shareware - this means that you can try it for a while and see if you like it.
If you find that you are frequently using BugMe! then you need to pay for it to be able to legally continue using it. If you don't pay after a reasonable evaluation period then you must delete BugMe!
from your Pilot.

The trial version of BugMe! only allows you to have one reminder, when you register I'll provide a key which you need to enter into BugMe! The key will unlock the full buggability of BugMe! letting you remember as much as you need. Registered users will be put on my mailing list and alerted to BugMe! updates and bug fixes which I may release from time to time.

You can register BugMe! in a variety of ways via the excellant PilotGear service. PilotGear accept all kinds of payment in all forms - credit cards, checks and probably even old-fashioned hard cash! PilotGear will issue you with a registration key. Give them a ring or send a fax if you can't register
via the web.

  http://www.pilotgear.com/ or http://www.viamall.com/pilotgear/
  Pilot Gear accept cards, cheques and FirstVirtual. Cost $10.
  Register securely online or with a phone call to 817.461.5944, fax to 817.461.3482

  You can also register via First Virtual - email your key to fv@hausofmaus.com - please state 
  that you want to buy BugMe! I'll try to process these as quickly as I can, but I do 
  take vacations sometimes ;^) - please be patient if there's a slight delay.

If you are really stuck for registering then I can accept cheques in US or UK currency only.
Please email me at iain@hausofmaus.com if you need to register in this way and I will send
my mailing address.


What BugMe! Isn't
+++++++++++++++++
Please don't think of BugMe! either as a replacement for any of the Pilot's built-in apps or as a 
drawing package - it aint, and its never going to be! They all do great jobs and I don't ever want BugMe! to grow to replace them. As of version 2.3 I don't plan on adding any new functionality, BugMe!
does more than it ever was intended to and I think any more would spoil it!

Think of BugMe! as the pad of yellow stickies you have on your desk! Great for reminders and quick notes - no good for essays or masterpieces!

Legal Stuff
+++++++++++
You are responsible for what you do with BugMe! and for the consequences of anything that happens as a result of your use, be it damage, loss of data on any computer system or anything.

BugMe! is shareware. If you use it please register it, you get a much better version. Details are given above and on the BugMe! web site at http://www.hausofmaus.com/

You may distribute unregistered copies of BugMe! via the internet and other media, but not for profit,
unless I specifically give permission (request via email to iain@hausofmaus.com).

The registration key should never be revealed to others, that would be theft :(

Old Changes (The complete history of BugMe!)
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1.03
Fixed a 'Fatal Error' that occured when selecting a custom time after an alarm has fired
when an application other than BugMe! was running - obscure huh!

1.02
Fixed the 'looping reset' that used to happen when the Pilot was soft-reset before BugMe! had run after being installed, fixed some drawing glitches.

1.01
Fat erasor, delete most recently entered text (upto 30 chars), bug is set when you select the popup list, more error checking!
Change to registered version - can now delete pages when alarms are set.
