AddressAccess supplies an easy and efficient interface
to the contacts stored in your Newton - no more using the slow overview
function to find a person's address or phone number. Note: AA is compatible
with built-in Names: you can switch from AA to Names and back anytime you
want without loosing data (of course AA´s additional features are only
available within AA)
AddressAccess has been improved quite a lot since back its initial release
in 1995. Please see the version history for the
complete list of improvements. BTW: If you still use Newton OS1.x then
please install AddressAccess V1.62.
