 Converting a database from an older version of NoteMan:

  Databases created with older versions of NoteMan will be converted
  automatically. Before conversion takes place a backup copy of
  the database is made. The backup copy has the same name as the
  original but with a .BAK extension and it will be located in the same
  directory as the original.
