	This archive contains NODe, a small and easy to use
	database program which I have once written for a local
	church community. It runs on DOS, FreeBSD, and HP1000CX
	palmtop computers.

	The latest version can be found in the 'projects'
	section at

		http://www.homepages.de/home/nmh/

	WHAT'S NEW?

	In Release 2.6, a template hot list has been added, some
	minor bugs have been fixed, and the report writer has
	been slightly improved (fixed field lengthes, page size,
	paper eject). A cut and paste function has been added
	to edit boxes and the help messages have been updated.

	Since Release 2.4, NODe is able to export and merge data
	in CSL (comma separated list) format, which most other
	database programs can read and write. The format is also
	suitable for manual processing using an ASCII editor or
	filter programs like SED, GREP, AWK, etc.

	DESCRIPTION

	The program is self-explaining. Help can be requested in
	the browser screen by pressing F1 or ?.

	Options will be saved in the current directory in a file
	called NODE-OPTS.

	When a file named HOTLIST exists and contains the names of
	some database files, this list can be requested in the
	opening menu by selecting 'hot list'.
	Please do not include too many files! Currently, there is
	no overflow checking.

	Technical data:
		Max. records per database ........... 512
		Max. number of fields per record .... 16
		Max. number of bytes per record ..... 1024

	When NODe shall be run in HP1000CX zoom mode (64x18), the
	CXCTL tool can be used to preset this mode.

	The source code to NODe (in T3X) is available from the
	author. T3X-R5-10 or later is required to (cross-)compile
	NODe for DOS.
