Joe,

This is Contacts, right?  Does it let you edit _any_ AW DB file?  An AW
DB NDA is high on my to-do list, but there's obviously no point if
Contacts already does everything I want.  However, from your
descriptions, I got the impression that the NDA's layout was fixed,
which would kind of limit the layout of the files you worked on.

Also, just checking back to SSII itself, I see that it does not edit the
DB file directly, but rather a text file created by Contacts Mover.
This is certainly a workable solution, and if it could handle any DB
file, then I guess that would be fine, though not what I have in mind.

Do you mind clearing this up for me, Joe?  Thanks.
