Regarding this Task:
http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Take_notes_on_the_command_line#D
Fwend has recently modified it with this note:
the file only needs to be created before append; filename can be written as one
word in English, no need for camel case)<
Sorry, I didn't know "filename" a single English word :-)

Regarding the other problem, the last part of the Task says:
If NOTES.TXT doesn't already exist in the current directory then a new NOTES.TXT
file should be created.<
If no text file exists in the directory and I run the current program with no arguments,
it generates no file to me. So I think the current program is wrong. That's why I added a
File(fileName, "w");. What do you think?
It depends on how you interpret it. The task describes two actions:
display and append. The question is: does the last sentence refer to
the append action or to both display and append. I choose to think it
refers to the append action because that makes more sense.
As for http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Simple_database
You removed the struct that I used to encapsulate the functions.
Aren't these functions now exposed to other modules? I wanted
them to only be callable from main. The input validation relies
on that.
At first I had declared them all private, but then I thought it
would be convenient to put a struct around them and declare it
private. Maybe there's a better way.
