        One  of  the  functions  supplied  with  ALL-IN-ONE  V2  is  a
   corporate  telephone  directory.   I found that it's usefulness was
   very limited due  to  poor  performance.   I  have  developed  this
   replacement  for  the  corporate telephone directory which can read
   the same data file:  this allows any information which has  already
   been input to the telephone directory to be saved.  The application
   uses VAX-DATATRIEVE  and  FMS  to  present  the  information  in  a
   menu-driven   form,   which   allows  better  manipulation  of  the
   information.  The  application  is  also  more  easily  adapted  to
   individual  requirements:   in  this  example,  a field for a third
   telephone number has  been  added,  the  state  is  recorded  as  a
   separate field, and the information may be entered in lower case so
   that it will have a better appearance when used for other  purposes
   such as mailing labels.

        Because the application now runs in DATATRIEVE, it may be used
   without   ALL-IN-ONE,   as  well  as  being  accessed  from  within
   ALL-IN-ONE.
