initial setup

You can put bbNote.exe together with bbnote.rc in whatever directory you like. bbNote will create a .ini file there to save it's basic configurations.

The included plugin-dll by itself does not display anything, but rather tells bbNote about the current BB-style and when you change the style from the BB-styles-menu. To load the dll you need to add its relative path (from your Blackbox directory) to the Blackbox configuration file plugins.rc. For example, if you installed Blackbox into c:\Blackbox, and bbNote.dll is located in c:\Blackbox\plugins\bbNote, you should add the line plugins\bbNote\bbNote.dll to plugins.rc.

To use bbNote as your preferred BB-Editor, you may wish to add its full path to the extensions.rc configuration file. This could look like: blackbox.editor: "c:\blackbox\bbnote.exe"

If you use bbNote without the dll, it loads bbnote.rc from it's directory as a default style file. You actually can take any of your favorite styles, copy it beside the executable, and rename it to bbnote.rc.

The title-font and the menu-font are taken from the BB-style, but the font of the edit window is stored in the .ini file. BBnote will work with fixed width fonts only. (drift, edges, lime, lucida console, courier, ...)

bbNote is a Blackbox for Windows tool, providing BB-stylized ascii-text editing.

bbNote requires Blackbox for Windows 0.0.70 or later (if you are using the plugin-dll).
