month's CoverDisks, you may
U l have noticed a slight change to
f normal. We are now using Commodore's
yinstaller
utility to try and make extracting
othe
archives as easy as possible for you.
u To extract any single archive, simply
hdouble-click
its icon and follow the on-
ascreen
instructions. If you want to quickly
vextract
the program to RAM. select the
e NOVICE level on the welcome screen
aand
press proceed once on the current
lscreen,
and then again on the next. The
rprogram
can now be found in your RAM
edisk.
a You also have the option of using a
dfloppy
disk. If you pick this option make
y sure you have a blank formatted disk at
bthe
ready, and if you only have one disk
oget
ready for lots of disk swapping and a
olong
wait.

and different hand writing
dstyles. What you need is a program to
keep all your loved ones' and friends'
addresses and phone numbers stored in
a convenient place.
DFA really is the perfect solution. The
program is split into a number of smaller
parts, so the main executable is small
enough to keep in your WBStartup
drawer. If you ever need to find someone's
address (WA has a Applcon. so a
rquick double-click is all that is needed to
pop up the main DFA screen with a list
view of all the people in your address
book.
To install you should really use the
provided installer script as it is a little
complicated and a number of tool types
have to be set correctly. Other than that,
it should be quite painless as virtually all
the DFA files are held together in a

This is whe re you e nte r a ll you fa vourite
people into your bulging a ddre ss book
single directory. The first thing you will
notice when you run DFA is that is has a
very handy tool bar across the top of its
window. All the more common commands
are accessible via this tool bar. If
you are not sure what each icon means,
lust place the mouse pointer over the
relevant icon and its functions will
appear in the information box at the top
right.
Adding new entries is very straightforward.
Click on the New icon, which is
the little folder icon. This pops up another
window with a number of fields. The
form is fairly standard allowing you to
enter, among other things, the person's
name, address, phone number and up
to three e-mail addresses. You can cursor
