Apps/!Address/!ReadMe

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
  ------------- Address Book Version I 1.01 -------------  

  For full instructions on using the program, please run
  the !Help application in the !Address directory.

  Additional note:
  I have delibrately kept the Wimp Slot size to a minimum
  to enable users with only 1 meg to run !Address along
  with any other applications. However, with 164k you can
  only use it for about 200 addresses before it begins to
  bring up the dreaded 'No room' error. 
  Users who want to use larger address files should alter
  the !Run file to claim a larger Wimp Slot size, about
  400k will be required for 300+ records allowing large
  sorts as well.
