CHANGED: does no more use the external touch command to create a new

file, use perls open() instead.
CHANGED:        excluded some of the help texts from the usage message and the
                interactive help command to a manpage.
ADDED:          new commandline flag "--encrypt" which one can use to encrypt
                the mysql database password. This will be decrypted before
                connecting to the db. There is also a new config file option
                "encrypt_passwd" which indicates an encrypted db-password.
ADDED:          another new config option "ShortCd", which can be set to "yes"
                or 1 and if set, then a command like "cd 13" would jump
                directly to the topic of the note with the number 13.
ADDED:          now you can at any time cd back to the "root" of the
                topic-structure using the command "cd /".
CHANGED:        mysql.pm does now only do a table-lock on single write
                accesses, no more on the whole session. This allows one to
                access the same db twice or more.
FIXED:          Changed README and Changelog for readability on 80 by 25
                displays. And changed indentation of the note script itself.
ADDED:          NOTEDB.pm - a generic module, which holds some methods, which
                are used by binary.pm, mysql.pm and dbm.pm.
ADDED:          NOTEDB.pm generate_search(), which allows one to
                use AND, OR and various combinations of them using ( and ).
ADDED:          a search does now return the 2nd line of a note if a matching
                note's first line is a topic.
CHANGED:        use "unshift" instead of push to add $libpath to @INC.
ADDED:          a new feature, Caching of notes. supported by binary.pm and
                mysql.pm. To turn it on, one need to set "Cache" in the config
                to a true value.

<h2>changelog</h2>
<hr><ul>
1.0.8:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br>
typo in noterc shipped with package may caused confusion (BLOWFISH
instead of Blowfish).
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br>
changed the way note manages temporary filez. It uses now a random
string instead of just it's own PID. It does also change it's umask
to 077 and, if applicable (on ext2 filesystems) issues "chattr +s"
which will cause the ext2 inodes to be zero'd after file deletion.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br>
A new config option allows the user to specify her own temp-directory.
The default is still /tmp.
</ul>
<hr><ul>
1.0.7:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> there was a bug in the search expression, use now \Q and \E.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> --config <file> allows one to use another config than the default.
</ul>
<hr><ul>
1.0.6:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> Forgot "PreferredEditor" config-option in the new config format.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> the interactive "cd .." command has ignored the presence of a
"DefaultLong" setting(and search too)... thx to Peter.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Optimized a little bit the output routine, now it is better to read.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> sub format and appropriate config-option for text formatting capabilities.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> changed getconfig regexp, which allows now also to use Option = Param.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> was not possible to override config-options, which are set by default to
something.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> note chacks now, if a database os actually really encrypted and exits with
an error if it s and the user turned off encryption. This protects her from
destroying it's own database ..
</ul><hr><ul>
1.0.5:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> the T (and t respectively) printed nothing out since 1.0.3! It does
it now again...
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> a new database backend added, NOTEDB::dbm, which uses DBM files for
storage.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> &display-tree returns now, if there is no note, otherwise it
would die because of an undefined refernce.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Changed the config file format completely. It is now no more a perl
file, instead it is a simple plain text file which note parses.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Changed the way, note loads it database backend. It uses now the
$dbdriver variable as module-name, which makes it possible easily
to write your own backend without the need to change note itself.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> Removed Getopt::Long option "bundling", causes errors with perl
5.6.0 and is not senceful.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> Added the Getopt::Long option "no_ignore_case". In 1.0.4 options
were case insensitive causing -i to be interpreted as --import
instead of --interactive ;-(((
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> a new config option $DEFAULT_LIST, which causes note, \
if turned to "LONG", to use long-listing as default. |
But it will still be able to use short-listing if you |
explicit specify that. | submitted by

usage. |
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Changed the text in the interactive help to reflect |
changes of verion 1.0.3 (t and T). /
</ul><hr><ul>
1.0.4:
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Moved from @ARGV-parsing to Getopt::Long, adding options is now
much easier and I do now understand my own code ;-)
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> --raw, the "Raw Mode", which turns off any formatting of output.
</ul><hr><ul>
1.0.3:
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> "-" works also for --dump, but in the other direction. It causes
note to dump to standard output instead into a file.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> you can specify - as filename for use with --import and if you want
to create a new note. "-" stands for standardinput and it allows you
tp pipe another commands output to note!
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> you can now use an environment variable for the passphrase (when using
encryption). If it is presen, note will not ask for a passphrase. This
is very usefull in comination with the addition above, for use in
scripts.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> the interactive help screen is now coloured.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> -o commandline switch, which causes note to overwrite an existing
database when importing data from a previous dump. Very handy if
you want to re-initialize your db, i.e. if you changed the format.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> the long-tree-view (-T) displays now also the note-number of each
note.
</ul><hr><ul>
1.0.2:
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> Topic-Tree overview command (-t or -T).
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> Enhanced list command in interactive mode, you can now specify
a topic which notes you want to see.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> updated the help and usage sections to reflect the additions above.
</ul><hr><ul>
1.0.1:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> fixed bug in NOTEDB::mysql, which caused note t store NULL values
in db, if encryption was off. A really dump failure :-(
</ul><hr><ul>
1.0.0:
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> removed install.#!/bin/sh. use now a Makefile for installation.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> Encryption support. Note can now encrypt notes using IDEA
or DES as encryption-protocols(symetric).
</ul><hr><ul>
0.9:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> There were many new bugs after my last changes *grrrrr*. fixed.
Works now properly, with both backends!
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> and another bug: recounting of numbers did not take care about
the existing order! If you deleted note #12, then note #13 became
not neccessarily #12! Instead it becames any other number (kind of
randomly...).
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> NOTEDB::binary set_del function changed, it does no more require
a temporary file for number recount. Instead it uses get_all and
stores all notes in RAM and then rewrites the database.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> fixed the set_new call within note. It used 0 as the first param
(number) which is not useful since we dont have support for auto-
increment from all database backends.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> fixed the function set_recountnum in NITEDB::mysql, it was also
incorrect :-((( 0.8 seemed to be a very bad early alpha...........
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> there was a bug in NOTEDB::binary which caused not to recount note
numbers after deleting one :-(
</ul><hr><ul>
0.8:
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> NOTEDB::binary. so now 0.8 is ready for shipping !
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> regexp bug fixed. It was only possible to delete 2 items together
separated by comma ("d 1,2,3,4" deleted only 1,2!).
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> Some new config options which reflects the new module structure.
So you can change your database backend without the need to
replace the note script itself.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> the previously added feature "cd <topic>" didn't really work :-(
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> NOTEDB::mysql added. Perlmodule, which I will use within
note from now on instead of buildin functions for accessing the
database. From now on I only need to maintain one version of
note, since the module interface will be identical between the
bin and sql version.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> The SQL code does not use Mysql.pm anymore. Instead it is coded
using the more portable DBI module. This allows one easily to
switch to anther database, which is supported by DBI.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Locking. The db-table will now be locked before note accesses it.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> width of listings is now always the same independent of the string-
length of a certain note.
</ul><hr><ul>
0.7:
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> one can now use the unix-like "cd" command to change to another
topic, thus use "cd topicname" instead just typing "topicname"!
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> there was a smal regex bug which maked it impossible to use such
topics: "4 test", in such a case note just displayed note number 4
instead of cd'ing to topic "4 test".
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> a new config option "$KEEP_TIMESTAMP" allows a user to disable
note's default behavior of updating the timestamp of a note after
editing it.
</ul><hr><ul>
0.6:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> oops - the new suptopic feature confused the commandline-mode of
note! quickly corrected! so subtopics also available from command-
line.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> a small bug fiyed, it was impossible to use -D or -I from command-
line, if $ALWAYS_INT was turned on, now it is.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> fixed problem with local/global variable $time, which confused
the script under certain circumstances, now $time is no more global,
it will be read in (using &getdate) locally by &new and &edit.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> The Topic separator is no longer hardcoded, one can customize
it using the $TopicSep variable, the default is now /, the backslash
will no mor work!
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> use perl buildin localtime() function instead of
GNU date, which is possibly not installed on every target
system (i.e. win32), therefore better portability!
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> use now the strict module
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> Support for subtopics added (and sub-sub-..-topics).
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Removed the "T" command, it is now obsolete.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> behavior of list command changed, now shows topics as well as
notes under the current topic(if there are some).
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> The ".." command takes you now one level higher in your topic-
structure.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> A new config option $PreferredEditor, which you can use to
specify your own choice of editor.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> A bug at line 769 causing single note where smaller than note-
listings
</ul><hr><ul>
0.5:
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> Topic support(requested). You can sort the various notes under
different topics now.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> There was another bug, which caused the list command to display
the notes with a too high value of $maxlen.
</ul><hr><ul>
0.4.2:
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> If run in interactive mode, note will at first do a list command.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> A bug caused note to save bogus timestamps after editing a note.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> It does no more print 3 newlines before the menu in interactive mode.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> Some more vars will be resetted during each loop in interactive mode.
$ListType.
</ul><hr><ul>
0.4.1:
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> The install.#!/bin/sh script for the mysql version is no able to install the
required Mysql module directly from CPAN, thanks to David A. Bandel!
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> The mysql version did not display notes (i.e.: "note 3" did nothing)
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Again, the sql-format of the mysql database has been changed. Now
there are only 3 fields, the number filed is the primary key, the id
field in previous versions was a waste of diskspace...
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> The format of the dump-output has been changed.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> It is now possible to import previously dumped notes into the notedb
(dumps from both versions are compatible with each other)
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> the function num_bereich() had a bug, which caused ot to ignore under
some circumstances one number (i.e. "note -d 4-13" did nothing).
</ul><hr><ul>
0.4:
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> ok, mysql support is back again (upon requests). therefore there
are two different version of the script in the same time with
the same features, one for mysql and the other one for the binary
database.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> Dump to textfile capability. Later on I want to dump it into a
palm readable format, any help is welcome!
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> interactive mode.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> Better modularity, better code.
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> note can now run without the need of a config file. If does not
exist, it will try to work with default values.
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> sub num_bereich(), which allows one to specify more then one
number for deletion or displaying (i.e.: "-d 1,4,7" or "-d 4-9")
</ul><hr><ul>
0.3:
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> it uses no more a mysql database, but a binary file instead.
This is much faster!
<li><b>ADDED</b>:<br> note can display the notes with colors, it is turned off by default
</ul><hr><ul>
0.2:
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> now any occurence of ' will be masked with \' before storage
to the mysql database.
<li><b>FIXED</b>:<br> now numbers of notes will be recounted, if one delete one note,
so the list of notes will everytime start with 1,2,3,...
<li><b>CHANGED</b>:<br> the look of the list output has been changed, similar to a table
</ul><hr>

<h2>Hinweise f&uuml;r deutsche Besucher</h2>
note ist ein Konsolenprogram, mit dem man einfach Notizen verwalten
kann, <20>hnlich wie bei "knotes". Es ist in Perl geschrieben. Note
verwendet externe (mitgelieferte!) Module als Speicher-Backend, um
die Daten zu speichern. Momentan ist ein mysql-Modul dabei, sowie
ein "binary"-Modul, note's eigenes Datenformat und seit 1.0.5 auch ein
DBM modul. Das mysql Modul verwendet Perls Standard Modul DBI
und ist damit f<>r alle g<>ngigen DBMS verwendbar.
Seit Version 1.0.0 wird Verschl<68>sselung unterst<73>tzt(IDEA oder DES),
man kann also durchaus auch sensible Daten speichern.
<p>
Die Dokumentation f&uuml;r <b>note</b> liegt leider nur in englisch vor. Trotzdem m&uuml;ssen Deutsche

<h3>welcome to the homepage of <I>note</I> by <a href="mailto: tom at daemon.de">Thomas Linden</a></h3>
<I>note</I> is a small console program written in perl, which allows
you to manage notes similar to programs like "knotes" from
commandline. Note can use different database-backends for
notes-storage. It ships with a DBI-based mysql-module(which
can also be used for other by DBI supported DBMS) and another
module, which uses a binary file for storage and a DBM module.<br>
Note supports since version 1.0.0 encryption(IDEA or DES)!<p>
Here is a brief list of it's features:
<ul><li> Three different database backends, mysql(DBI), dbm, binary(bin file).
</li><li> Commandline interface using the standard perl module
Getopt::Long, which allows you to use short or long
command-line options.
</li><li> Interactive interface(pure ascii), the following functions
are available in interactive mode: list, display, topic,
delete, edit, help.
</li><li> Highly confiurable using a perlish configfile ~/.noterc.
although it is configurable it is not required, note can
run without a configfile using useful default presets.
</li><li> Colourized output is supported using ASCII Escape-Sequences.
</li><li> The user can customize the color for each item.
</li><li> Data can be stored in various different database backends,
since all database access is excluded from the program itself
in perl modules.
</li><li> Notes can be deleted, edited and you can search trough your notes.
</li><li> Notes can be categorized. Each category(topic) can contain multiple
notes and even more sup-topics. There is no limitation about
sub topics.
</li><li> You can view all notes in a list and it is possible only to view
notes under a certain topic.
</li><li> There is a tree-view, which allows you to get an overview of your
topic-hierarchy.
</li><li> Notes can be encrypted using DES or IDEA algorythms and Crypt::CBC.
</li><li> You can dump the contents of your note database into a plain text
file, which can later be imported. Imports can be appended or it can
</li><li>verwrite an existing database (-o).
</li><li> Note has scripting capabilities, you can create a new note by piping
another commands output to note, you can also import a notedump from
stdin as well es duming to stdout instead a file. Additional, there
is an option --raw available, which prints everything out completely
without formatting.
</li><li> It can be installed without root-privileges.
</li><li> Last, a while ago a user stated: "... it simply does, what it says ..."
</li></ul>

<h2>installation of note</h2>
<p>
Unpack the tar-ball and issue the command:<br>
$ perl Makefile.PL<br>
It will ask you a few questions about file destinations.
The script will find itself the proper destinations for
the files. So, if you agree with it, simply press ENTER.
However, you may decide to use other destinations. In this
case, enter it, when asked. This maybe usefull, if you are
installing it in your ome-directory and if you are not root!
<p>
For installation instructions for the mysql database installation
see mysql/README.
<p>
If want to use another SQL database, i.e. postgresql then set
the option "DbDriver" to the name of the responding DBI-driver
and create a symlink of this name like this:
<br> /usr/lib/perl5/siteperl/NOTEDB $ ln -s mysql.pm oracle.pm
<br> The functionality is the same, but not the name!
<p>
The default binary file backend does not need any special installation
procedure, you need only to spceify a filename in your config file.
<p>
The DBM backend(NOTEDB::dbm) requires the existence of a directory,
which you must specify in your config using the option "DbName".
<p>
<b>Configuration</b>
This version of note doesn't neccessarily need
a configuration file. But you can have one and change
some default values. Take a look to the file config/noterc
provided with this tarball. There are detailed instructions
about every available parameter.
<br> Simply copy this file into your home-directory and name it
.noterc
If you decide not to use the default database backend (a binary
file), you will *need* a configuration!

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.

<h2>upgrade from previous version of note to 1.0.x</h2>
<p>
In any case: BACKUP your existing note database!!!!!!!
The format has not changed, but some default values
(see the new config file-sample). Use this command
to save your note database with your *old* version
of note:<br>
"note -D"<br>
This works with both the mysql and the binary version.
<p>
You need to reedit your configfile. Please refer to the
sample config in config/noterc.
<p>
<hr>
<p>
This version of note has now encryption support build in.
If you decide to use it, you need to re-initialize your
note database. That's why, because your current database
is unencrypted and *if* you want to secure your data, you
need to secure everything. That means, your existing data
must be encrypted before you can use this new capability!
<p>
Follow this steps:
<ul>
<li> backup existing db:
<br> $ note -D
<li> backup the db:
<br> $ cp .notedb .notedb.save
or (for mysql users!):
<br> $ cp -r /usr/local/mysql/data/notedb ~/notedb.mysql.save
<li> go into note and delete all existing notes:
<br> $ note -d 1-20 (or however)
<li> now upgrade your note installation:
<br> $ perl Makefile.PL; make install
<li> re-configure note. Turn $USE_CRYPT on by setting it
to "YES".
<li> re-initialize your database:
<br> $ note -I note.dump.2323 (or whatever)<br>
note will prompt you for a passphrase. It will be used
by Crypt::CBC for encrypting your data.
</ul>
From now on, your data is encrypted. You will need the passphrase
you set above for decrypting it! So - don't forget it!

<h4>Decription</h4>
If you don't know, how to run note, try "note -h" first.
It will tell you all available commandline options.
<p>
To create a new note, simply run "note". You can enter
the note (the length is by default limited to 4096 bytes,
which you can change from your config file if you are using
the binary backend, therwise there is no limitation).
End by typing a . on a line itself. note will tell you the
number of the note.
<p>
If you want to view the note, type "note 1", if the notenumber
was 1.
<p>
If you want to get an overview of all notes, type "note -l".
You will get a list of all notes, containing the number,
the first line and the creation date. If topic-support is
turned on (which is by default), then all subtopics under the
current topic will be displayed first.
<br> If you want to get a listing of all
If you want to see the timestamps, use "-L" instead of "-l".
Read more about topics below in the section "Topics".
You can also specify the topic which notes you want to see:
"-l mytopic" does the trick.
<br> Additional, you might want to get an overview of your topic-
strcture. You can use the command "-t" in this case, which
will display a tree-view of your tpic-structure. You can
use the command "-T" if you want to see the notes under each
topic too. "-T" will also show the number of each note.
<p>
To edit a certain note, type "note -e 1". It will invoke your
editor (vi or pico). You can edit it, after saving, note
will store the changed note to the database.
<p>
Of course you can drop a certain note: "note -d 1" deletes
note number 1. If a note in the middle or the beginning of
the database will be deleted, note will recount the other
existent notes. For example there are 3 notes, number 1, 2
and 3. If you delete number 2, then number 3 will become
number 2.
<br> You can also make use of the extended delete-syntax:
To delete note 1 and 2, use "-d 1,2"
To delete note 1,2 and 3, use "-d 1-3".
<p>
If you cannot remember, which note you are looking for, you
can use the search capability of note: "note -s <searchstring>".
note will search the whole note database case insensitive for
an occurence of this string and tell you the number and first-
line it have.
<p>
Instead of using note from the commandline you can use the
interactive mode. Run note with "note -i". If you need assistance
type "?" or "h" at the ">" prompt. The interactive mode
provides you the most functions of note.
<p>
You can also dump the contents of your note-database into a
ASCII-textfile(-D). You can use this file later to import it into
your note-database(-I). This is usefull, if you want quickly trans-
fer your notes from one host to another (i.e. you could mail
your note-dump form your office to home and import it there
for further use).
<br> The dumps from the two versions of note are in the same format.
Using dumps it is also possible to reinitialize your database. You
can use the "-o" switch whcih causes note to overwrite your existing
database. This is very handy if you changed heavily your config. And
it is required, if you changed: encryption, db-driver, (binary-format)
and the password. You can use the following command for reinitializing:
<br> $ note -D - | note -o -I -
<br> What the hell, does it?! Step by step:
<ul>
<li> "note -D -" creates a note-database dump and prints it out
to stantdard output.
<li> "|" this is the shell's pipe command. It takes the output
of the left program and gives it to the right program as standard
input.
<li> "note -o -I -" imports a note-database dump from standard input
and overwrites an existing database.
</ul>
Before you use the "-o" switch, I consider yuo to make a backup!
<p>
<a href="#top">top</a><p><p><a name="topics">
<h4>Topics</h4>
If topic-support is turned on (which is by default), the various
notes are sorted under various topics. There is no special database
field for the topic. Instead the topic will be stored right in the
note.
<br> If the first line of your note contains some text bordered by slashes
(or whatever you prefer, set "TopicSeparator" in your config! default is slash),
then note will consider it as the topic of this certain note. For examle:
<br> /TodoList/
<br> If you are using topics, no data after the topic is allowed, if there
is any text, note will consider it as a subtopic! Therefore, don't for-
get to put a newline after the topic-line.
<p>
If you are in interactive mode, you can "cd" to a different note simply
by typing it's name at the command-prompt, or you can use the well-known
syntax "cd topic".
<br> The list-command will only show you notes under this topic. If you create
a new note, it will automagically inserted under the current topic (note
will prepend the string "/topicname/" to the text of your note).
<p>
You can create at any time from any point a new topic. Just create a new
note and type the name of the new topic bordered by slashes (or TopicSeparator)
at the first line of this note. After saving, there will be available a
new topic with one note in it.
<p>
You can create as many subtopics as you like, the format is similar to a
filesystem-path. An example, say, you want to create such a structure:
<p>
<pre>
(root - top level)
|
|----test
| |----subtopic
| | |--note 1
| | |--note 2
| |
| |--note 4
|
|--note 3
</pre>
<p>
Then you may create those 4 new notes:
<br>
<pre>
--- snip ---
/test/subtopic/
note 1
--- snip ---
/test/subtopic/
note 2
--- snip ---
note 3
--- snip ---
/test/
note 4
--- snip ---
</pre><br>
I hope, you got the point ;-)
<p>
If a note does not contain the "magic" /topic/ construction on the first
line, it will be listed under the "root" of note, that is the point you are
at the startup of note.
<p>
You can subsequently move a note without a topic to a certain topic. Simply
edit it and insert at the first line the above mentioned construction.
<p>
Note: Please don't forget the prepending and appending a slash of a topic.
You will get strange results without it!
<p>
<a href="#top">top</a><p><p><a name="format">
<h4>Formatting of notes</h4>
Another very nice feature is the possibility to format the note-text (as much as
shell allows it). First, you can use the note-internal "magic-strings" for color-
izing. Those strings looks much like HTML:
i<br> "<green>here is a green line of text</green> no more green."
As you see, the beginning of another color starts with a tag(kinda) of the color
<colorname> and ens with an end tag </colorname>.
<p>
The following colors are available:
black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan and white.
<p>
Beside colorizing text, you can also create bold or underlined text! If you decide
to use this (additional) feature, you need to set the Config-Option "FormatNotes"
to 1 which turns it on.
<br> Usage is very straightforward, if a word (a word is defined as some text with at least
one space surrounded) is between a magic mark-character. Here are the available
things, you can do:
<pre>
bold: **word**
underlined: __word__
inverse: {{word}}
</pre>
The text will be formatted using the actually note-color.
<p>
<a href="#top">top</a><p><p><a name="script">
<h4>Scripting</h4>
Since version 1.0.3 there are some additions which allows you to use note in
scripts, without user-interaction. You might run a special script as cronjob,
which adds a note under a certain topic every week. Or the like.
<p>
Here are the possibilies you have:
<p>
You can add a new note through a pipe, another commands output becomes
note's input:
<br> $ cat /var/spool/news/daily | note -
<br> This command adds the content of a file "daily" as a new note. Note the dash.
it stands for "Standard Input". Note will be completely silent and it will not
ask for something.
<p>
Suppose you are using encryption. You might wonder, how note will get your
passphrase? The solution: You need to set up an environment variable which
contains the password:
<br> $ export NOTE_PASSWD=secret
<br> If the variable is present, note will not ask you for a passphrase!
<p>
Another thingy you might find useful is the -r (--raw) command-line flag. This
turns note into raw mode , which means it will only print the
data without any formatting. Raw mode is available for list and display,
since it makes no sense, interactive mode doe not support raw mode.
<p>
<a href="#top">top</a><p><p><a name="dbformat">
<h4>Format of the notedb (binary backend)</h4>
The database where the notes are stored is a binary fixed record length file
of the following format:
It consists of three fixed length fields per entry. The fields
have the following types:
<ul>
<li> Number: Integer (1 byte)
<li> Note: String (default 1024 bytes)
<li> Time: String (default 64 bytes)
</ul>
You can change the sizes of the fields "Note" and "Time" in
the configfile "~/.noterc". If it does not exist, the above
defaults will be used.
<br> If the data to be stored is smaller then the size of the field,
it will be filled with ZERO's ("\0"). The Note and the Time
fields will be uuencoded before storage. Of course, this is
no security, never mind...

<h4>The note-database (mysql backend)</h4>
The sql-database for the mysql version has the following design:
<pre>
+--------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+--------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| number | int(10) | | PRI | 0 | auto_increment |
| note | text | YES | | NULL | |
| date | text | YES | | NULL | |
+--------+---------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
</pre>

<h4>Format of the ASCII-dump file (note -D)</h4>
The dump of a note-database (if you use note -D) has the following
format:
<pre>
--- snip ---
Number: 1
Timestamp: 14.01.2000 00:25:01
This is a sample text
in a sample note.
Number: 2
Timestamp: 14.01.2000 02:37:40
And this is another sample
of a note.
--- snip ---
</pre>
<p> You can reimport a dump into your note-database with "note -I <file>"
Existing notes will not overwritten, note will append the imported
data to your note-database.

<h4>Security</h4>
If you are using the MySQL driver, refer to the mysql
manual for more informations about security of mysql databases:
http://www.mysql.org/Manual_chapter/manual_Privilege_system.html
<p>
If you are using notes proprietary binary driver, then
the permission 0600 of the file "~/.notedb" is strongly required!
<p>
Additional, you can turn on encryption from the config file.
Simply set UseEncryption to 1. Please note, that you need
to decide, if you want to use encryption before the first use
of note! If have already a note database and want to "migrate"
to encryption, I suggest you to follow the directions in the
file UPGRADE!
<p>
You can choose from different encryption algorythms. The default
is IDEA, but DES or BLOWFISH is also possible. You need to have
installed the following additional perl-modules on your system:
<ul>
<li> MD5
<li> Crypt::IDEA
<li> Crypt::DES
<li> Crypt::CBC
</ul>
After turning on encryption, note will ask you for a passphrase
everytime it runs! It will *not* store this passphrase!
So, don't forget it! Be careful!
<p>
Once note have encrypted some data using this passphrase, you
cannot simply switch to another passphrase, because all data
within the database needs to be encrypted using the same passphrase!
If you want to change the passphrase for any reason, please read
the file UPGRADE and follow it's directions!
<br> Someday I will add a "change passwd" function, which will do all
these things for you. Someday, I said...
For now you can use the "re-initialze database" functionality, mentioned
earlier in the "Usage" section (at the end of the section).
<p>
Note: To make sure, the encrypted data can be stored properly,
it will be uuencoded after encryption.
<p>
Note: *If* you forgot your passphrase and *if* you don't have
a backup of your database without encryption, PLEASE
don't bother me with "helpme" emails! If you don't know
the phrase, then the data can't be decrypted. Even if it
is possible - I am not responsible for that!
<p>
Note: How does note know, if the passphrase was incorrect? It uses the
specified phrase and encodes at least one note (the first one)
and checks if the decrypted timestamp field matches the following
expression: "^\d+\.\d+". Translated from perl to human:
the timestamp must begin with minimum one digit (possibly more),
followed by one dot, followed by minimum one digit (possibly more).
Chances are bad, that a wrong passphrase will cause a timestamp
matching the rule above. If you have other experiences, please
drop me a mail!
