Notes2Notes V-2.1b3

Notes2Notes is a Windows program that synchronizes Newton notes with Microsoft Outlook 97, 98 & 2000. The creator of Notes2Notes is Brad Smith. However, Brad has given me development rights to Notes2Notes since I developed V-2.0. Thanks Brad! Version 2.0 has many new features and has had the serial communication improved to work just as well on Newt 120/130's as well as Newt 2100's. It uses the Sloup communication package by Steve Weyer on the Newton side.

Screen Shots

This is the main screen for Notes2Notes, (without the view pane active). Notes can be sorted by title, folder or date using the column tabs.

 

This is the Note view. The example shows show a Note I wrote on my Newton to help me remember how to make pancake batter.

 

This is Sloup Talk. Sloup Talk allows experienced Sloup users to send commands to the Newton and for the results to be displayed. This example show how you can retrieve a list of packages installed on your Newton.

Requirements

• Notes2Notes requires Sloup to be installed on your Newton. Sloup is a serial communications package for the Newton by Steve Weyer. If you require support for Standalone's Super Notepad, you will need to get version 2.2h2 or higher of Sloup. Otherwise version 2.1 or higher will work fine.

Systems

Notes2Notes was written to be compatible with Win9x, WinNT and Win2K. It has been tested using Outlook 97, 98 and 2000.

Know Problems

• Generally Notes2Notes will not duplicate notes in your Newton or Outlook. However, if any Newton note has a ? in the title then the find command fails in Outlook and the note will be duplicated. I'm looking for a cure at the moment.
• If you transfer an Outlook note in a category that doesn't have a matching folder on the Newton then you will not be able to see the note on your Newton until you create a folder with that name or you choose to view all notes.
• Outlook notes may be associated with more than one category. Newton notes may not. If you have an Outlook note associated with more than one category and you transfer it to the Newton you will end up with a Newton note that is filed in a folder with a name like "category1, category2". Even worse, you will not be able to see the note at all until you create a folder of the same name.
