A while ago I posted a Phone Book Program that used James Donnelly's
Libraries and I was just wondering if anybody out there was using it?
I got a rather pitiful response, 1 about the program and 2 about my
signature. Anyway I am debugging a multiple account money manager that
uses the same Libraries and I was wondering if it was worth posting?
Does anyone out there use/have the Toolbox libraries? Should I take
the time to clean up my code and post it? Is anyone out there??

I don't find an immediate need for a phone book program, and I don't have Donnelly's libraries, but its good to know that once I get the libraries, I can get your phone book program off of the mail server. So don't value a program entirely off the immediate response you get to it. Many people won't be using it for a while yet. I wonder how much response the 'Celestial Navigation' author got for his software, yet he continually puts out updated versions. I'm sure someone, somewhere, not necessarily with net access, appreciates his efforts. -- "This special edition of The Gulf War will continue after these messages." -ABC Pete Ashdown pashdown@javelin.sim.es.com ...uunet!javelin.sim.es.com!pashdown

I really enjoy following people's progamming efforts on the net, even if I don't need the particular program right away. In fact I find that the authors on the net often run into problems that I later have, and if the posted the method they used for getting around the hassle, it helps me on my way... So keep up the good work! (I am just finishing up a suite of programs to assist in DNA sequence analysis and related fields, which I will post RSN. If you think few people use a phone-book-manager, how many do you think will use _that_? ;-) ) ------------------------+----------------------------+------------------------- ___ | R.

I purchased of copy of Donnelly's book and library just last week, but am looking forward to putting the routines to good use. I for one am always interested in seeing code from others. If I ever have the time to put anything together I plan on reciprocating. On a related note, what do people think of Sparcom's Personal Information Manager card? I like the basic package, but am disappointed at the gaping holes in the provided functionality. In particular, there doesn't seem to be any provision for cyclical appointments, nor rescheduling appointments.
