.SH NAME
tkrolo \- address book
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tkrolo
[addressbook]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B tkrolo
provides an address book program. Although address book programs
abound, this one was designed with certain features in mind:
.PP
It is cross-platform, and will run on any system where
.I tcl/Tk
can be installed. This way, it may be used on iPaq handheld systems
as well as desktop un*x, Windows, or Macintosh systems. The user
interface has been optimized to work well on handheld devices.
.PP
The data is stored in a tab-delimited, flat file so that it may be
manipulated by many tools. It can easily be imported and exported
between various other programs. The data can be shared with a mail
application, for instance. The author shares the data between a Palm
Pilot, iPaq running Familiar linux, a laptop running Debian linux, 
and a desktop system running Windows 2000.
.SH NOTES
When a data file is read (see section
.B FILES
for the default locations for data files), the 
.I Category
field will be parsed so that entries may be viewed by individual
categories. Entries can be sorted by name or company. Individual
entries can viewed by double-clicking on them. They can be further
manipulated by highlighting them, and selecting an operation from
the 
.I Entry
menu.
.SH FILES
If called with no arguments, 
.B tkrolo
will default to:
.ta .5i 4i
.ds Z	$HOME/.tkrolo \t (un*x)
.ds ZZ	%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%/tkrolo \t (windows)
.ds ZZZ	$PREFS/.tkrolo \t (mac)
.nf
\*[Z]
\*[ZZ]
\*[ZZZ]
.fi
.ta
.SH BUGS
The 
.I search
feature is case-sensitive. Since most searches target a name, the
search will repeat a second time if the first search fails. The
second search will drop the initial letter, in case it was a capital.
Hence, a search for 
.I Capella
will succeed (assuming someone named Capella is in the database), but
will actually match
.I apella
.
.SH COMPATIBILITY
Since the program is written in tcl/Tk, it will run on any system where
these tools can be installed. It has been tested on handheld and desktop
linux systems, and Windows 2000.
