Re: PUP Diary 1.0

I never thought about that, but it sounds useful.
I should look closer at notecase and MD file viewer to see what features they have.
Fatdog64 has an excellent md file viewer that opens links.

Re: ptm timer 3.5 SFS

-I made small change and tested a lot.
It should change to default sound when sound field is left blank.
I recommend that your mp3 sound be located on same hard drive that you boot from
so it won't be lost.
