1. What is Help Edit
---------------------

  Adr_Book is a simple database program that prints a very handy address
  booklet, mailing labels, envelopes, and several reports.
  
  The address booklet is 4 1/4  x  5 1/2 inches. A perfect size for your 
  own personal address book, but also great for organizations, clubs, and
  churches.
  
  The mailing labels can be printed by zip code order and with all capital
  letters for the name and address. Perfect for saving money on bulk mail
  rates.
  
  The envelopes can be printed in three popular sizes. The postnet code
  can be printed. Different fonts and point sizes can be specified for the
  return address and addressee.

2. What is new from 1.0
------------------------

  a. Several printing bugs with the address booklet.

  b. Label printing can now be positioned for alignment.

  c. Label printing can now specify on which label to begin to allow
     reuse of partially printed sheets.

  d. Envelopes (though still limited) can specify from which side of the 
     paper tray they will be printed, and positioning forward or back.

  e. The system date is automatically added to new records.

  f. Field sizes have increased for address lines, phone numbers, state code.

  g. An entry is no longer required for the first name field.

3. INSTALLATION

5. Why Register?
----------------

  Registering brings with it a number of advantages.
  
  First of all you will not be limited to a database with a maximum of
  50 records. You won't get the nag dialog box when you start Adr_Book.
  
  You will feel better. (maybe)
  
  You will have supported Alaska Software Development, which is mostly 
  non existent save data processing at the local banks.

  Well, I actually was able to take Alberta out to a greasy spoon from
  the first release - but she still thinks it is a colossal waste of
  time. I don't know, there is a simple joy in believing you have made
  a contribution even if there is no significant monetary reward.
  BUT I HAVE A PLAN! I'll take her south of Anchorage to the small town 
  of Girdwood. (It is the real home of Tommy Moe for those of you who
  followed the Olympics) It is about a 40 minute drive along the Turnagain
  Arm. A beautiful drive. Mountains thrusting vertically on both sides
  of the ocean waters. There is a tram that goes up the mountain that is 
  home to Alyeska ski resort. A new restaurant at the top opened this year 
  and perhaps dessert as the sun is setting over the peaks ....... Hmmmm, 
  Sorry, thanks for listening.
