(dirk@alcmy.adsp.sub.org) Fido: 2:244/6302.12 DESCRIPTION DFA is the ultimate address utility for every AMIGA computer that runs at least Workbench 2.0. Native languages are supported as soon as one has installed Workbench 2.1 and above; Workbench 3.0 will be supported, if is available. DFA is not like any other address tool. It is an ideal combination of a lot of features and an easy to use program. Inspite of this combination it tries to use even less RAM than former versions of DFA. Registered users will get a keyfile that enables saving of the DFA-Preferences, which is disabled in the public release. DFA should be installed using the provided install script. The installer program ((c) Commodore) is included! FEATURES - Arexx port that understand more than 30 commands - Arexx scripts can be bound to function keys - Support of up to three email addresses - Can dial the stored telephone numbers - Prints your addresses in several different formats - All windows are fully font sensitive - Locale support (german and english) - Supports OS3.x if available - Context sensitive online help - AMIGAGUIDE and TEX documentation; both english and german NEW FEATURES - Extended client server mechanism. - Address grouping - Complete rewrite of the DFA Arexx port - Toolbox - Address listview can be configured - Added a configurable panel listview - c/O and state field added - Support of "external" files - Search function improved - The dial function was rewritten from scratch. - The load and the save routine were sped up a lot. - Optimized memory usage (Memory pools etc.) - Simple network support - Seperate preferences program - 8-color MagicWB icons by Martin 'XEN' Huttenloher. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS DFA needs at least Kickstart/Workbench 2.04 to run. It takes advantage of the new features included in version 2.1 (Locale support) and uses even some features coming with OS 3.0 if available. DFA is made to run on all all systems, starting with the A500+ and ending up with the A4000(T). More than 512KB of RAM and a harddisk is recommended.
