+cnotes provides quick, one-line note capture from the terminal. Notes are stored in a simple CSV format and can be displayed, sorted, and filtered. 
+The intent is to behave mostly like an immutable log, however entry deletion is enabled through an 'archiving' mechanism. 
+
+Comprehensive explanatory documentation of the internals of these tools cna be found in [INTERNALS](INTERNALS.md). In essence, the design philosophy
+is the same as the old unix bromide "do one thing, and do it well". In addition, I have made minor modifications to enable composition through 
+shell scripting. I will not be overly customizing the CLI interface, for precisely this reason.
