XmAddressbook, DECwindows, Addressbook

Building


To build XmAddressBook just execute make.com. This will check the system setup
and then invoke MMS/MMK with the correct parameters. (Note: No DCL-only build
procedure is currently available) At the time of this writing also the
Xvmsutils are required (at least at version 2.0) to work around the incomplete
implementation of getpwuid in the the C-RTL. 


New features added with 1.5.4

* New qualifier -file (or -f) to read arbitrarily named addressbook files
 (usefull to e.g. keep business and private contacts separated) 

* Added new field to record mobile phone numbers. Attention: This requires an
  extension of the file format used by XmAddressbook. You need to convert older
  files using the new -convert1.2 (or -c1.2) option. The new files can not be
  read by previous versions of XmAddressbook.
