'Phonelist' is a very quick and short program to find out
your most-needed phone-numbers and is designed to work under
'Workbench' and 'CLI' control.
The program searches the env-var 'PL_FILES' to locate the
database, so be shure to have this variable set !
*
Capabilities in general :
- search for a record/number by name
( no wildcards needed ! )
- add a new record
- delete a record
- generate a list of all records ( sorted alpha. )
- reorganize the PL - Database
( needed after deleting a record to save disk-space ! )
*

You should use the installation-script 'install-pl' from Workbench
to make shure that all needed stuff is available.
