A d d r e s s A s s i s t
Release 2.0 v40.15 (11 June 1995).
THE address database program for the Amiga computer family.
Copyright ⌐ 1994-95 Quarz Development / Alex H. Schneider
- Shareware -
I'm glad to announce a NEW and very MUCH enhanced release of 'AddressAssist'
(AA). Since its first published version, many new features have been added
- also due to many suggestions of the users, thank you! - to make AA
one of the BEST address managment programs in the AMIGA world of computing!
And more features will follow!
AA ist designed to be a very easy to use, but yet powerful
address managment program for use at work, at home, in clubs etc.
or combined.
Take a look at the some of the most important features:
* 14 field address database including 4 user definable text fields
(new in release 2: 2nd 'Name'-field and an all new 'Group'-field
to distinguish up to 10 address groups).
* Very nice and intuitive user interface based on MUI (which makes
it size and font sensible, 3.1 compatible)
* Two types of database/record view: the database List view provides
easy overview and access while the record Form view enlights the
record's details
* Powerful printing-interface for output address lists and labels by
providing user definable and flexible output format: output text
style and format; new for release 2: user definable record field
ordering and field length definitions for list printing. Ability
to load and save specific printer setup.
* Ability to define selections. Selection may be printed and
exported separately. Powerful filters to define : field string
match and group match filters are provided for include, exclude or
toggle records to or from a selection.
* Powerful database sort feature, possibility to use several index
as well as sort in up- or downward direction
* Flexible Import/Export filters for ASCII files with user definable
file format: new in release 2: user definable record field
ordering.
* Import/Export filters for TransfileSF (TM) software (for transfer
data with Casio pocket computer)
* Copy address data to AMIGA clipboard. For use with word
processors, for example.
* Easy navigation through records by a set of 'QuickAccess'-controls
(known from Superbase)
* More than one data files can be used with AA: all
database configuration - like the FreeX field name or or the Group
names - as well as all specific program and printer interface
setup are stored in the data files, if desirable with an icon.
* Special function for removing identical records
AA is *Shareware*. See Orderform.txt and documentation for details about
the program and how to register.
Try it out!!! You can easily use your old address data with AA!
Thank you for supporting shareware!
