What are the features of Addressbook?
-------------------------------------
Some features are:
- Graphical User Interface
- Easy multi language support (now english, german, french)
- All the addresses are displayed in a listbox
- The actual address can be edited in a form
- Freely configurable fields contents
- fast search by typing the first letters of a name
- search configurable for regular expression, matching or exact
- External programms can be called with contents of some fields
(so you can dial a phonenumber by pressing a button)
- Standalone perl programm for fast search without GUI
Changes to version 0.4:
- Some ways of printing lists of addresses
- Support for tcl7.4/tk4.0
- Deleting addresses is possible
- Userdefined fields
Future features:
- More ways and better printing
- Export and import from databases
- Add more languages (if some volunteer translates)
What is needed to run Addressbook?
----------------------------------
Addressbook is based on Tcl/Tk, so you need a machine where Tcl/Tk
is running. For most Unix like machines, Tcl/Tk is available.
To check, if you already have Tcl/Tk, try to find 'wish', the
Tcl/Tk interpreter used. (like 'which wish' or 'type wish').
If you use Linux, the Tcl/Tk included in slackware works fine.
This programm is tested under:
- Linux 1.2.1 Tcl/Tk from slackware
- HPUX 9.01
Tcl/Tk is available at following sites and their mirrors:
ftp://harbor.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/tcl/sprite-mirror/tcl7.3.tar.gz
ftp://harbor.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/tcl/sprite-mirror/tk3.6.tar.gz
