Travel NoteSolution

Tablet PC

Make sure GlyphMaker is installed on the tablet.
Scan or photograph books from which you want to take notes, and copy the scans or photos onto the tablet.
Grab stuff off this website and your hard disk and copy it onto the tablet.
- Copy wordlists from this Wiki onto the tablet.
- htdocs/wiki/wiki.d: about 9MB of data files.
- Stuff from karig.net/p:
  - notes-and-projects: 103MB (including 83MB of PDFs in the "reading" subfolder).
  - old: 4.5MB or so.
  - unorg: about 15MB.
Install a RAM disk to save wear and tear on the hard drive if you read files more than you write to them.
Redownload EmEditor and install it onto the tablet. Set it up to save settings to INI files, and copy it and its DLL files into the RAM disk.
Projects:
- EmEditor macro to take filtering criteria from the currently selected text and to generate from that a temporary document containing only the records that match those criteria. (Version 1: Match only records that contain the phrases given.)
