Notes File Format The Notes file created by the Notepad desk accessory has a VLIR file structure. Each branch is a single sector which comprises a page of the notepad. This sets the notepad's limits to 127 pages of 253 characters. 127 pages because of the limit to the number of VLIR chains, and 253 characters because a sector holds 254 data bytes (2 bytes for the next track and sector link) and the last character must be a zero to terminate to text.
