- addbook V1.4 By Simon Raybould 1990
-
- Fixes from V1.1
-
- - After using PrintFiles, V1.1 had problems finding data file
- from workbench correctly. This was do to me not using file
- locks in quite the correct manner. This is fixed in this version.
-
- - New icon for data file.
-
-
- Bug fixes from V1.3
-
- - Version 1.3 had a very embarassing bug that would only show after
- the second use of the program from CLI. When the program was called
- for the second time from CLI, the machine would GURU with type
- 00000003 or 00000004, i.e. Illegal instruction or Addressing error.
- I have fixed this in this in this version.

- Archive contents:
-
- Addbook - Executable program.
- Addbook.doc - This document.
- Addbook.doc.info - Icon for this document.
- Address - Sample data file
- Address.info - Example for workbench usage.
-
- This program is to search a data file for a pattern and then display
- the name, address and phone number for that person.
- The address is line split by commas. (see the example data file).
-
- This program is freely re-distributable and I fully hope that it is of
- some use and encourage its distribution.
-
-
- To use from cli just type:-
-
- addbook <datafile>
-
- To use from workbench, the address book file should have 'addbook' in its
- default tool gadget. (Use info from workbench). This is assuming that the
- executable is in the same directory as the data file. If not the the
- full path to the executable should be in the default tool slot.
- The example given has been set up to work from workbench by just double
- clicking on the data file.
- The advantage being that you can single click on the data file, hold shift
- and then double click on you favorite editor (such as emacs) and add more
- names and addresses.
-
- Alternativly, you can create an icon for addbook, click once on it,
- hold shift and double click on the data file from workbench.
-
- USAGE
-
- To use just type the string to search for into the string gadget and press
- RETURN, if the first match is not the one you want then click on the next
- gadget and the next match will be displayed.
-
- In the data file, COLONS are used to seperate fields and commas in the
- address will split the address up onto seperate lines. See the sample
- data file for more information.
-
- Any suggestions, bugs e.t.c should be sent to me and I will endevour to send
- a fixed version.
