What is Addressbook?
--------------------
Addressbook is a programm to manage your addresses, phone numbers,
e-mailaddresses and everything which is now written in your rolodex.
If you want to see how it looks like:

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
Future features:
- Several ways of printing a list of addresses (in developpement)
- Export and import from databases
- Add more languages (if some volunteer translates)
What is the actual version of Addressbook?
------------------------------------------
The actual version of Addressbook is 0.4 from 02.04.1995.
Attention: Right now, it is only an alpha version. It is useable,
but there may be some bugs left and some features are not already
implemented. If you find some bugs, errors or missing features,
please drop me a mail. I'm working on it, so I may help you.
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 1.2.0 Tcl/Tk from slackware
- HPUX 9.01
