ADDED: NOTEDB::binary. so now 0.8 is ready for shipping !

FIXED:          regexp bug fixed. It was only possible to delete 2 items together
                separated by comma ("d 1,2,3,4" deleted only 1,2!).
ADDED:          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.
FIXED:          the previously added feature "cd <topic>" didn't really work :-(
ADDED:          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.
CHANGED:        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.
CHANGED:        Locking. The db-table will now be locked before note accesses it.
FIXED:          width of listings is now always the same independent of the string-
                length of a certain note.

+README for the mysql database installation for note
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+        You need the following things:
+                o perl installed (5.004x)
+                o mysql database installed and running
+                o Mysql perlmodule (you can find it on 
+                  http://www.mysql.org) PLEASE NOTE:
+                  It needs the Module "Mysql". The install.sh
+		  script will install it for you directly from
+		  CPAN if you like. Newer versions
+                  are DBI, which you can also use to access
+                  mysql databases. If you want to use it, you
+                  have to rewrite the program. Please let me
+                  know, if you did it :-)
+                o permissions to create a new database and
+                  to write data to this database.
+
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+        First, make sure all these things above are ok.
+        You can use the script "install.sh" to create a new
+        database and the table structure. You might edit 
+        the script before running it.
+
+        If you are getting trouble, i.e. if you have not the 
+        required permissions to do that, please make sure,
+        you can. 
+        As user root, you have to give your user the 
+        neccessary permissions. Please refer to the mysql 
+        documentation, how to do that.
+        After that repeat the step above.
+
+	You can find a sample config file within the subdirectory
+	"config" named noterc. There are some special values
+	which you can use to connect to a different database
+	then the default.
+	install.sh will create the following database:
+		name: 		user_note
+		Maintable: 	note
+		Number:		number(int 10)
+		Note:		note(text)
+		Date:		date(text)
+
+	You can use the file "permissions" as a template for
+	modifying a users permissions to her database. Please
+	note, that there are different version of mysql out 
+	there with different access privilege systems, which
+	are not compatible, refer to the documentation shipped
+	with your mysql installation to learn, how many fields
+	are available and what they are for.
+
+	You may also take a look to:
+	http://www.mysql.org/Manual_chapter/manual_Privilege_system.html	
+
+
+        This should be all.
