1. Introduction
I wrote this as one of my first real USEFULL pascal programs. It
is a basic address and telephone book which stores names, addresses,
phone numbers, birthdates, etc. in a database.
You will notice it is fairly simple, but it will get the job done
for the average person who wants a small database set up as an address
book.
2. Getting Started
First, unzip the files into their own directory on your hard drive.
Then change to that directory and run ADDCFG.EXE. It will ask you your
name and how you would like the database to be kept sorted.
Now type ADDRESS. The program will start and a "main menu" will appear.
From here on, most things are self explanatory. You can add, find, or
list the records. If you add a few records and then list them, from
the list screen, you can use the Alt keys listed on the menu bar at
the bottom of the screen to find and delete individual records.
Pressing 'P' at the main menu will print out a simple list of all
the people in your database and their bithdates.
Pressing 'S' will shell to dos.
Although it isn't on the main menu, if you press 'K' while the main
menu is being displayed, you have the option of erasing the WHOLE data
file. (Be carefull with this :))
The default data file is "ADDRESS.DAT", but you can use another name
simply by putting the file name on the command line as the first
parameter. For example, ADDRESS DAN.DAT would start the program using
the file "DAN.DAT" as the data file. This is usefull if you'd like to
have more than one person use the program on the same computer.
3. Notes
If you have any suggestions, and I know you will, please tell me, and
I will try to implement them in the near future. This is my first program
and I intend to stick with it for a while as it is good type of program to
help me learn. I can be reached on my BBS at (508) 667-7234, by FidoNet
