Release 3.0 v41.1 (January 29th 1997).
The address database program for the Amiga computer family.

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
