Da  Capo is a GEM-program which lets you manage your addresses. It runs as
program  or  accessory  and  it  was written TOS-clean, so it needs only a
TOS-compatible  platform  and  at least 512 KB RAM (in fact, it was tested
successfully  from  the  Atari 520 ST with a monochrome SM124 and original
TOS  up  to MagiCMac running on Apple's PowerPC with a 17" and 32K colours
monitor). Da Capo supports the following features:

ù intuitive user interface using actual GEM-standards (Clipboard, 
  UNDO, Cut/Copy/Paste, non modal 3D-window dialogs, GDOS-fonts and 
  -printing, online-help)
ù shows your records as a table or mask with colour icons, each 
  record has up to 30 fields, most of them can be labelled by the user
ù supports GEMINI-AV-protocol (communication with accessories), 
  1st-Base pipeline (CyPress), Selectric (for opening multiple files) 
  and ST-Guide (hypertext help system)
ù very flexible import and export (1ST_ADDR.DAT can be read directly) 
ù lists for towns, countries... finds zip codes for towns 
  automatically and vice versa
ù autolocator in table and lists
ù 3 grep-like search-functions: fulltext search, search for an entry 
  and selection, all of them using wildcards
ù finds and removes doubly defined addresses
ù sorts your addresses by three fields
ù reminds you of birthdays (an AUTO-folder/TTP is also included)

This  program  is  shareware.  You  can  use and distribute it for private
purposes, but you may not change any of the files included:

  DACAPO.APP             the program/accessory

  AUTO\                  a program which reminds you of forthcoming 
                         birthdays (runs also as TTP)

The  unregistered version is limited to 40 records (!). If you use Da Capo
for  more than three weeks, you have to pay your shareware fee. The actual
price is

  DM 30.- or US $20.-

Please  send  the money (no cheques, since they cost me nearly the same as
they are worth) to:

  Francisco Mendez          or      Francisco Mendez
  Sparkasse G”ttingen               Stumpfe Eiche 2a

In  return you will get your personal registration key for supporting more
than 40 adresses. You may not redistribute the registrated version.

The  program  is  ready  to  run.  Just  copy  DACAPO.APP, *.RSC and *.INF
together  with  the  folder  DACAPO\  to any location on any drive. If you
want  use  Da  Capo as accessory, rename its extension to *.ACC and put it
together with *.RSC/*.INF onto your boot device.

A  French  and  a German version are also available! Sorry, but I couldn't
translate the ST-Guide online documentation, maybe next time...
