cnotes v0.1.1 for DOS
=====================

A simple command-line note-taking system
Built with Turbo C++ 3.0 (large memory model)

WHAT IS THIS?
------------
cnotes lets you quickly add, view, search, count, and archive short notes
from the DOS prompt. Notes are saved in plain cnotes.csv in your notes
directory (usually current directory on DOS).

-----------------
CNADD    - Add a new note
CNDUMP   - Show all notes in a table

CNFIND   - Search notes by text/category/date

INSTALLATION
------------
1. Unzip all files to any directory (e.g. C:\TEMP)
2. Run INSTALL.BAT from that directory
3. Follow the on-screen prompts

After installation:
- Best: add C:\CNOTES to your PATH
  SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\CNOTES
  (put this line in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to make it permanent)
- Or run commands with full path: C:\CNOTES\CNADD "Test note"

QUICK START
-----------
CNADD "Remember to call Bob"
CNADD -c Work "Meeting 3pm tomorrow"

CNDUMP          - view all notes

By default: current directory (cnotes.csv and cnotes.arc)
Override with environment variable:
  SET CNOTES_PATH=C:\MYNOTES

Have fun logging notes the retro way!
