Well, I was having a great time with the Address book program and accessory when I ran into a small problem: It seems that the accessory portion of Address will no longer run with the number of addresses that I have put into the book. The .PRG version runs great, but whenever I boot with Address.ACC, the computer can't complete the boot process. Anybody else having similar problems???

I found that the size of the address book that one can run as an accessory is so small as to be effectively useless. I have a 20K address data base on my Unix system that I was able to reformat for address.prg, but even a small subset of this (about 2K as I recall) was more than the accessory version could handle. One feature that would make the accessory more valuable would be the ability to extract data to disk for addressing letters, autodialling, etc. Without that, the program version makes a cute demo, and it is very nicely done, but I don't really find it very useful. -- Bill Silvert Marine Ecology Laboratory, Dartmouth, NS, Canada CDN or BITNET: silvert@cs.dal.cdn -- UUCP: ..!{seismo|utai}!dalcs!silvert ARPA: silvert%dalcs.uucp@seismo.CSS.GOV -- CSNET: silvert%cs.dal.cdn@ubc.csnet
