I would like to thank my friend Oleg Alpatov for his help
and support for this version of 4T NOX. He has been a
great asset in the development of the New Features.
I have included 4T NOX version 1.8 with Export/Import functions so
that you can export from ver 1.x and import into version 2.x

4T NOX is a full-featured password/account management application. You can store information pertaining to bank accounts, credit cards, email, phone cards and much more. Pull-down menus are utilized throughout to make data entry simple. Other features include user-customizable categories, a customizable password generator, a quick lock icon, and login screen password protection. If you're constantly forgetting important passwords, check out this easy-to-use storage system.
- None at this time ;-).
*** UPDATES FOR 4T NOX 2.2 ***
IMPORT FROM MEMOPAD ! !
Input data in your pc (memopad) and sync it
to your Palm PDA.
EXPORT TO MEMOPAD ! !
BACK YOUR DATA UP
Export to memopad for safe keeping
- Menu command for import.
- Menu command for export.
- A couple of cosmetic changes.
- Minor bug squash.
New Installation.
Install the included FNox.prc file by using the
install application that is included with your Palm OS Desktop software.
Upgrading,
Due to the re-design of the database (to accommodate BLOWFISH), you
MUST DELETE ANY COPY OF 4T NOX,
VERSIONS 1.8 AND LOWER, AND
RE-ENTER YOUR DATA. I apologize for any inconvenience that this causes, but I fill that the added security was justification for the change. I hope you will fill the same. I promise to the best of my ability that I will not change the data structure in future releases.
IF YOU HAVE VERSION 2.0 OR LATER, YOU CAN INSTALL THIS VERSION OVER IT WITHOUT DELETING IT.
Currently the BEST way to get a good backup is to utilize one of the 3rd party options that are available. I have found that BackupBuddy is a good choice. It will backup the database (fnox.pdb) into a separate file for backup and restore purposes. Another very good way is the NEW Export/Import to/from Memopad. I am in the process of creating a PC Desktop companion for 4T NOX.
If you do encounter a crash/re-set while using 4T NOX please
do the following:
1. Delete 4T NOX from your Palm PDA
2. Re-install 4T NOX
3. Log into 4T NOX with a new password
4. Exit 4T NOX
4. THEN, install the fnox.pdb data file

The Main Form View is the 'home base' view of 4T NOX. The look and feel is very similar to the address list view of the Address application on the Palm Pilot. The accounts are listed in alphabetical order by the description field of the account.
To create new accounts press the 'New' button from the Main Form View. The Record Details View screen will appear where you can start inputting your information, you can change the label names by tapping on the drop down list of each label and selecting a new label. Enter the information in each field by tapping on the field to place the cursor and use the Graffiti input or Palm Pilot soft keyboard input to enter the account information. Use the drop down list box in the top right corner of the form to select a category for the record that you are currently editing. Edit the list of categories by selecting 'Edit Categories...' from the category drop down list. Tap on the 'Private' check box to identify the account as private. This will allow you to utilize the built-in Palm Pilot security feature and hide the record until the Palm Pilot security password has been entered. Once finished, tap the 'Done' button and the Main Form View will appear.
To view/edit an account, select the account from the Main Form View by tapping on the name of the account. The Record Details View screen will appear with the account information. View or edit the information as needed and then tap the 'Done' button when finished viewing the account and the Main Form View will reappear.
To delete the account record, tap on the record, from the Main Form View, to bring up the Record Details View, then tap the delete "Trash Can" icon. A dialog box will prompt you to ensure that you don't accidentally delete the wrong account.
Exports data, in current category, to the memopad creating a new memo named "4TNox Export".
The structure for this exported memo is:
4TNox Export (memo name)
4TNox<--------------------new record
Desc: description data
User: username data
Pass: password data
F1: field 1 data
F2: field 2 data
F3: field 3 data
Notes: note data
4TNox <-------------------new record
Desc: description data
User: username data
Pass: password data
F1: field 1 data
F2: field 2 data
F3: field 3 data
Notes: note data
4TNox <-------------------new record
Desc: description data
User: username data
Pass: password data
F1: field 1 data
F2: field 2 data
F3: field 3 data
Notes: note data
etc.......
Importing from the memopad is exactly the same as the export except for one thing, change the word Export to Import. The fields and the structure is exactly the same. As a matter of fact, the BEST way to insure no type-o's is to first export to memopad, then edit the data and import back into 4T Nox.
The minimum requirements are; 1.) new memo named "4TNox" 2.) First line of memo named "4TNox" 3.) ANY one of the fields below.
4TNox Import (memo name)
4TNox<--------------------new record
Desc: description data
