* Telephone / Address directory program? @ Georgina ` Raul A. Gallegos ` Steve Holmes 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Georgina @ UTC (permalink / raw) To: speakup, northants Hi I wondered if there were any handy terminal programs for storing telephone numbers and addresses. While I've been playing with postgresql, I don't know variations of the select statements well enough for this simple task. It feels like using a sledge hammer for a very small nut. I'm just looking for a small program that I as a single user can enter names, addresses and telephone numbers and retrieve quite easily. Any ideas?

I don't remember which distro you use but there is a Debian package which I use and works quite well. If you don't use Debian I'm sure you can find it from freshmeat.net and install it manually.

The best I can suggest here would be to read the info page on forms within the info tree for emacs and forms. It is like a small database in concept.
