!AddInfo

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
The file 'Address' is in CSV (comma separated value) format and as
such, can be used with most database programs. A new datafile should
first be created with the following fields in the order they appear
here. The numbers in brackets represent the field length and the word
indicates the type of data that will appear in the field:

Name                      (30)  Text
Address                   (20)  Text
Nearest Town              (15)  Text
Nearest City              (15)  Text
County                    (15)  Text
Postcode                  ( 8)  Text
Telephone Number          (15)  Text

If a fax number is also required, before loading the CSV file into the
newly created datafile, add a comma at the end of each line.
