DESCRIPTION
			R O L O	 version 0.4

     Rolo stands for an electronic rolodex. Rolo creates, maintains, and
     queries the electonic rolodex. The program is written as a single
     script, in Bourne Shell.

     This program will create and query simple flat text database files.
     The program is useful in maintaining, for example the calendar(1)
     file, simple electronic rolodexes, and/or reminder services.

     The read synopsis is:

	rolo [-c] [-f file_name] word1 word2 word3 ...

     where word1 word2 word3 ... are the words that, when concatenated
     together with single spaces as delimiters, make up the record that is
     to be read from the database. If only one search word is specified,
     it can be a regular expression, compatible with egrep(1).

     The add record synopsis is:

	rolo [-c] [-f file_name] -a [-t] word1 word2 word3 ...

     where word1 word2 word3 ... are the words that, when concatenated
     together with single spaces as delimiters, make up the record that is
     to be added to the database.

     If the -t option is specified, the record added will be preceeded by
     the record's time stamp. If the -a option is not specified, the -t
     option has no effect.

     The delete record(s) synopsis is:

	rolo [-c] [-f file_name] -d word1 word2 word3 ...

     where word1 word2 word3 ... are the words that, when concatenated
     together with single spaces as delimiters, make up the partial record
     that is to be deleted from the database. If only one search word is
     specified, it can be a regular expression, compatible with egrep(1).

     The "-f file_name," optionally, specifies the flat text database
     file's name. If the "-f" option is not specified, the flat text
     database file's name will default to "$HOME.rolo."

     The "-c" option is identical to "-f $HOME/calendar."

     The version synopsis is:

	rolo -v

     which will print the version number of rolo.

     The help synopsis is:

	rolo -h

     which will list a synopsis of the command semantics.
