   ZDB (Z-Database) is a small (8K),  simple,  but very fast, name and address
file with label and envelope  printing output,  sorting by last and first name
or by zipcode,  and fast search.   It can also print a directory of the entire
database and write an ASCII CDF name and  address file for use with MailMerge.
Z-System dependent,  it uses some of the graphics  capabilities of VLIB4.  Can
make use of  a clock for automatic dating of entries.   WordStar-style editing
keys for data entry and updating.   New output options for labels.  Written in
Z80 assembler and developed with ZMAC and ZML,  using  the V4LIBS.   Should be
compatible with almost any Z80 system running Z-System.

 Usage 

   Entering 'ZDB /<cr>' at the command line will  produce a help message.   If
you also enter a data file name,  ZDB will look for it,  create it  if it does
not exist, and display either a blank record (if it's a new file) or the first
non-erased one in the file.   If  no  file  name is  specified,  ZDB  will use
ZDB.DTA as the default data file name.

   If you don't have an internal clock  (or have  a clock module loaded),  ZDB
will ask for the current date.  If you wish to quit at this point, enter ^C at
any time while entering the date.

   The ZDB menu is displayed at the bottom of the screen:

A=Add E=Edit D=Delete F=Find X=Xfind >=Next <=Prev P=Print ^S=Sort Q=Quit
