I posted this request just before our gateway machine went down, so if there
were any replies, I missed them.
I am looking for software to run on a Mac which can maintain an address
book. Sounds like it should be one of the easiest things one could do with
a computer, but it is amazing how few products are out there. In particular,
I am looking for something with the following capabilities which tend to rule
out WP and routine database programs:
o Printouts on DayTimer sized 5.5 X 8.0 inch paper as well as normal
8.5 X 11 paper. Printout must be able to print each letter on a
separate page for use with tabbed index sheets. Must be useable with
a DeskWriter printer. Special forms are OK, but I'd rather find
something which can be used with plain paper.
o Cross-referencing feature to enable names to be multiply listed under
a group heading as well as individually (e.g. combined yellow and white
pages listings).
o Generous (hopefully unlimited) comment fields to be used to enter
alternate addresses, kids names, birthdays, etc... It would really be
nice to be able to define multiple data entry forms.
o File merging so that multiple address files can be maintained, and
then merged in any fashion to produce a customized address book.
o Mail Label support and multicolumn printout for condensed versions.
I'll summarize any responses and repost to the Net.
