Address Book Program
The address book program is designed to allow a user
to store the names, addresses and phone numbers of any
individual. It contains a full-screen editor for the
updating of any entries in the Master File, as well as
various means of printing the data for hardcopy storage.
The file structure is designed such that integration
of other software is a snap. Each entry in the Master File
contains a "Structure ID". The is a unique number dedicated
to each entry and is never used again, even if an entry is
deleted. If a software package was designed to keep track
of family member names, for instance, all that would be
required is to simply store the structure ID along with the
list of family member names in the new file. These names
could then be indexed back to the Address, etc. using the
structure ID.
