I found that the size of the address book that one can run as an
accessory is so small as to be effectively useless.  I have a 20K
address data base on my Unix system that I was able to reformat for
address.prg, but even a small subset of this (about 2K as I recall)
was more than the accessory version could handle.

One feature that would make the accessory more valuable would be the
ability to extract data to disk for addressing letters, autodialling,
etc.  Without that, the program version makes a cute demo, and it is
very nicely done, but I don't really find it very useful.
