Jump starting the Linux/PIM marketplace for the new year, The Graphics Muse
is pleased to announce the full public release of XNotesPlus V3.5, a personal
information manager (PIM) for Linux and Unix systems with full featured
support for the Palm Pilot.

Houston, Texas (Jan 7, 2002) -- Michael J. Hammel, the Graphics Muse, is
pleased to announce the release of XNotesPlus V3.5.0, a Personal
Information Manager for the Linux and Unix desktop.

XNotesPlus includes support for all major features on the Palm Pilot,
including Memos, Todo Lists, the Address Book and Calendaring. All data from
each feature can be downloaded from the Pilot, edited within XNotesPlus and
uploaded back to the Pilot. Additionally, backups and restores of a Pilot
PDA can be managed from within XNotesPlus.

XNotesPlus is available in both source and Red Hat Linux 7.1 dynamically
built binary distributions.

XNotesPlus full featured note system includes audio alarms, color coded
projects, date and calendar inserts, text search / export / import / spell
checking, and integration with the XNotesPlus Address Manager to email notes
to other users.

The Address Manager also includes an integrated envelope printer for various
sized envelopes.

This release of XNotesPlus includes the following new features:

* Extended Pilot support to include install, delete, fetch and list DB's
* Merge multiple XNotes
* Print options for Todo and Address Manager
* Spell checking for XNotes
* Import/export XNotes with Todo and Address Managers
* Graphical installer (xninstall)

Users of older versions are encouraged to upgrade to this release.  Users
are also encouraged to take part on the newly established XNotesPlus
mailings list.  Links to the mailing list subscription and archives are
available from the XNotesPlus web site.

Because of the addition of complete Pilot integration and vast stability
improvements, XNotesPlus has reached a new phase in development. As of the
3.4 release, XNotesPlus has become Shareware. Users are encouraged to pay
$10 or more if they find the program useful in order to continue development
of the application. Payments can be made by check or via the XNotesPlus Web
site using PayPal.
