ABOUT THIS APPLICATION (AZZ Cardfile 1.6)
Purpose
Earlier I used to keep addresses, phones and other personal information
in Microsoft Cardfile cards. I missed Cardfile in Microsoft Windows 95.
Alternatives - MS Scheduler, MS Outlook, various freeware or shareware
PIMs were either too complex or not convenient to use.
I just need simple small notebook with fast item location possibility.
I want something like empty cards - without any predefined fields
(street address, zip, state, phone, fax, etc.).
Instead of using old MS Cardfile I decide to make such PIM myself.
This small application helps me now to manage phone numbers and addresses.
It could be used as a small "database" for the references, notes,
recipes, ... for everything, as any card file.
Main features and limitations
* Compressed, encrypted and password protected data files
* Import Microsoft Cardfile *crd files (text only)
* Automatically sorted index
* Speed dial, E-mail, WWW
* Index filter-on-enter (I missed this feature in MS Cardfile)
* User defined colors and fonts
* Fashionable user interface
* Window's position, size, MRU files stored in Registry
* Large amount of cards could decrease filtering speed.
Intend to use this application for 10000 or less cards
Using AZZ Cardfile
Instructions and Tips
* Load sample file ACCSAMPLE.AZZ for testing and learning
* Try to enter some text (any fragment of card title) to Input Box.
Filter will turn on automatically.
* "Press off" Filter Button to show all cards.
* Select with mouse any text on the Card. Selected text will appears
in the Dial Edit Box. Press Dial Button and Phone Dialer, e-mail or
WWW browser (depending of Dial Edit Box contents) will start.
* Search Button will help to find any text on any card
(not in Cards list. Use filter for this purpose).
* Use Tools|Options menu to change fonts, colors and list orientation.
* After testing you can import your CRD file or start new AZZ file.
* Use File|Protect menu to encrypt your AZZ file. Remember password!
