Schneider - Shareware - Introduction ************ After a long time, I'm glad to announce an all NEW and very MUCH enhanced release of 'AddressAssist' (AA). AA is a powerful, full featured address management program. It is definitively *not* YAAM (Yet Another Address Manager), as it combines a lot of well known features in one program and adds some new posibilities to ease Address Management. Take a look at the most important program features as listed below. Give AA a chance. Address data from other AM may easily be used in AA! Thank you and enjoy. Alex H. Schneider Main features ************* * 16 field address database including 4 user definable text fields, a 'group'-field to distinguish up to 10 record groups and two additional multi-line remark fields with unlimited field length. * Intuitive user interface (MUI), including a nice image-button toolbar. * Professional workspace, consisting of a Database list view and a Record form view. * Selections of records. Selected records may be viewed, printed and exported separately.
