Differences between 'TreePad Lite' and 'TreePad Asia'
Both programs are freeware and almost identical. The main difference is that 'TreePad Asia' is optimized for non-western fonts and 'TreePad Lite' is not. Using 'menu/view/non-western character mode' in TreePad Asia, one can select different character modes (IME), like Hiragana, Katakana. TreePad Lite does not have this feature.

Freeware license
You can use the freeware versions of TreePad privately or commercially without any limitations. You can distribute TreePad data files without any limitations. TreePad may be copied freely under the following conditions: (1) The zip file (or self-installing exe file), this program and any of the accompanying files may not be changed. (2) The zip file (or self-installing exe file) can be distributed, but it must be clear that it is distributed as freeware or shareware.

Automatic install
Simply run install.exe and follow the instructions on your screen

Manual install
Unzip all the files into one directory. That's all! No dll's or other complicated files to be installed! After this you can run TreePad by double clicking on the Treepad.exe file.

Using TreePad
Most users will not need the manual to start using TreePad, because the program is very easy to use. However, to learn about some advanced features, like hyperlinks, the manual might prove useful.
There are two manuals available. Manual.txt is a concise version, it only explains the basics. Manual.hjt contains the complete manual, and can be opened only in TreePad itself.

TreePad homepage
You can find the TreePad homepage at http://www.treepad.com.

exe-eBook Creator
A freeware ebook compiler for TreePad files. It enables you to create an executable (program) from a TreePad .tpd or .hjt file. This single "exe-file" contains the TreePad database as well as the TreePad Viewer program. The advantage of an exe-eBook is that it can be distributed royalty-free as a single file, since both data and viewer program are contained inside the program. Furthermore, a TreePad exe-eBook runs directly without installing anything!
