A new version of PmNotes, _the_ OS/2 Warp sticky note program
has been released.

Program description

PmNotes for OS/2 is your ultimate replacement for those yellow sticky notes
that won't stick to the edges of your monitor. It is a simple and easy to
use program without the overhead of a lot of gadgets you will probably never
need anyway. What PmNotes _does_ offer, is some extra functionality directly
related to the notes on your desktop.

Here are some of the key features:

- If running on Warp 4, PmNotes recognizes URL's in it's notes and let's you
  drag them to a folder or your browser as a standard URL object.

- Main window can optionally be configured to display alternating date and
  time.

- There's system wide hotkey support for easy access to the PmNotes' main
  window, in case you're not using the float on top feature. There's a
  separate hotkey for easy finding of notes that are hidden or stacked away
  behind a pile of windows.

- Alarm function for notes. A previously created (and maybe hidden) note can
  popup and warn you on a specified date and time with a beep. or a wav-file
  you selected.

Especial, with the URL recognition in the notes you have a sort of
temporarily bookmarked list. You will wonder how often this comes in handy.

Some new features in this version:

- Notes, like the main window, also have a float to top option now.

- Notes can optionally be displayed in the OS/2 window list.

- Show note window is now sizeable and has been extended with a dropdown
  list for quick note selection. It's now also possible to copy note text
  from this window to the clipboard or to delete notes from this window.

- Default size for new notes can be changed now.

- More flexible titlebar. Titlebar can display either the note creation
  date, last modified date, alarm time (if set) for the note or the first 50
  characters of the note text.

- And lot's of other small changes and bugfixes.
