1.1     ! root        1: .\"    @(#)4.5 6.1 (Berkeley) 5/26/86

        !             3: .se "Checking for New Notes"
        !             4: 
        !             5:        The checknotes program
        !             6: checks the notesfiles specified by the NFSEQ environment 
        !             7: variable to determine if there are new notes.
        !             8: The exit code is arranged to make the program useful in shell scripts:
        !             9: 0 (TRUE) is there are new notes, 1 (FALSE) otherwise.
        !            10: 
        !            11:        Use the ``-q'' option to receive a message
        !            12: 
        !            13:                There are new notes
        !            14: 
        !            15: if one or more of the notesfiles have notes/responses written since
        !            16: the user's last entry time into that notesfile.
        !            17: 
        !            18:        The ``-n'' option is similar to the ``-q'' option, with the exception
        !            19: that it yields output when there are no new notes. The output
        !            20: of checknotes with the ``-n'' option is:
        !            21: 
        !            22:                There are no new notes
        !            23: 
        !            24:        Use ``-v'' to print the name of each notesfile with new 
        !            25: notes/responses.
        !            26: The ``-s'' option is suitable for use in conditional
        !            27: expressions in shell scripts; no output is generated by this option.
