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.

+<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 ..."
