Presentation of Carnet

Carnet creates lists of names, addresses and phone numbers, finds the searched information very quickly, dials numbers, prints address books, labels, envelopes, cards and mail-merges.

Carnet can handle very large lists (tens of thousands of records) without slowing down. To find a record and start to dial usually takes less than a second, whatever size the list is.

Dialing is performed through the Macintosh loudspeaker, with a Minitel (Minitel 2 or better), with any Hayes-compatible modem (including the internal modem in a PowerBook, iMac, G4, etc.), or through the network with another copy of Carnet.

If the number is busy, Carnet repeats the dialing automatically. Some modems refuse to redial the same number several times in a row (blacklisting), Carnet can force the redial in most cases.

Search can find a text string in any field, or extract all the found records to a new list. Carnet can request a remote search from another Carnet on the network and search in all open lists at once.

Categories make subgrouping records easy and allow an instant selection of a part of the list.

Carnet is fully Internet-aware, e-mail addresses and web pages are easily located and can be activated with a click to send a mail or go to the web page.

Import and export of tabulated text makes exchanging data easy with most applications. Importing is very fast, nevertheless it can be performed in the background if the imported file is very large.

The notes field accepts up to 32,000 characters per record. A lock option avoids unwanted deletion of data.

The application has help balloons everywhere, you can activate them in the Help menu if you want more information on a menu or dialog item.
