I've been looking everywhere for paper about 4" x 5" or so to print out address books, calendars, etc. All I can find is: 8 1/2" x 11" (or larger), or file cards, or gummed labels. What I really want is pages that I could stick in a small notebook. Preferably they should be drilled to fit in a ring binder. Why? Well, I don't carry my computer around with me, and a hand-written address book seems an anachronism (besides, with everyone so mobile, it quickly fills up with scribbled notes, and I can never find anyone's address). To my surprise, no one seems to carry such pages--I've tried computer stores, office supply stores, the back pages of PC Mag. For a bonus, someone could point me to a program (public domain?) that splits a paginated file into two files--one with the odd numbered pages, one with the even. Then I can print out one, turn the paper over in my printer, and print out the other side (so my notebook will be slimmer-- it's not that I'm *that* much of a cheapskate!). (Guess I could roll my own--but I *am* that lazy!) -- Mike Maxwell Boeing Advanced Technology Center arpa: michaelm@boeing.com uucp: uw-beaver!uw-june!bcsaic!michaelm

With this program you create a data-base of names and address, print them in condenced mode on your printer, cut the result and staple - to create a nice small address book ( 5'' by 3''). This program can be down-loaded from many BBSs and also from a BBS I use that is called BC-BBS at 718-780-5029 (Brooklyn, NY). The program can export/import from text files and dBASE files. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Raanan Herrmann (...!delftcc,phri!bc-cis!raanan)

You could always use any program that output your schedule & addresses (such as traveling sidekick) and then do a reduction photocopy of it, two-sided. No it's not a program but by the time you've taken N attempts to make your printer print out the pages properly lined up ...
