Big Al Address Book 1.0

copyright: Al Staffieri Jr.
mod date: Sep 19, 1995
license: shareware

An "easy to use personal address book." It is pleasingly simple, but could use better error checking. The web page warns not to use commas, but I think it is actually double quotes that it can't handle. Printing with no printer selected will immediately terminate the program. For "System 4.1 or better".

Thanks to Ephraim Vishniac for adding it to his home page (look for the phrase "Dali Clock"). Source code is included.
