- Hi, I'm the author of Contact (just to put my bias up-front)!
- Contact has always been a commercial product (well, since it's release).
- The version on Fish 618 is an earlier demo version (unfortunately the
- 'contents' text doesn't state that).
-
- Contact will do all the things you mention above - print address labels/
- envelopes, dial the phone, and it has an ARexx port for total ARexx control.
- It can also launch ARexx scripts, and cut and paste addresses to/from
- the clipboard. It also allows you to keep free text notes pertaining
- to each address entry (stored in a separate file).
-
- > What are my options? What do people recommend?
-
- Obviously, I'd recommend you buy Contact 2.0. It is available in the
- USA from Consultron. I'm sure it will meet all your address/phone book
- requirements.
-
- Regarding the appointment/calendar application, I've been wanting to
- write something just like you describe, but unfortunately don't have
- the time. I could use one too!
-
- Cheers,
- Craig
