rolo - contact management software
release 011

Copyright (C) 2003 Andrew Hsu

Rolo keeps track of your contacts and display them to you with a text-based menu. Rolo strives to be a well-constructed tool for complimenting text-based email programs-such as mutt. It utilizes the vCard version 3.0 format for storing its contacts and it interfaces with the end-user through a NCurses front-end.

Rolo is written in ANSI C and uses Automake and Autoconf to manage its build system. Rolo makes uses of the NCurses library and the menu library that compliments NCurses. It has been developed and tested thoroughly on FreeBSD, but the code was designed to be as non-platform specific as possible.

To add a new contact in rolo, type `a' in the index screen. This will pop open your "favorite editor" so you can compose a new vCard file by hand. This may be a little low-level for some people, so an example vCard file has been provided in the `test' directory. If rolo is installed using an rpm file, the example file can be found in: /usr/share/doc/rolo-011/contacts.vcf

Directory contents:
