Introduction
-------------

In the era of GUI, I tried my best to make something different.
Back to DOS :). Why ? Because I have noticed that DOS programs
always execute faster that the GUI counterpart especially when
we are dealing with database processing. The program are 100 %
Clipper codes.

What the program does
---------------------

This version will extract email addresses from Agent news reader
data base files which have a default DAT extensions. The program
might work on Eudora mail box - MBX files. Tests have also been
made on Becky! email client with good results.

This utility extract email addresses contained in the "From"
field. Processes are made in such a way that there will be no 
duplicate addresses in the output file. Output file, which
contains the email address extracted and reformatted as necessary
is in the form of ordinary/plain DOS text files which can easily
be read by common text reader.

What the output for
-------------------

Up to you. You can use the text file for mass mailing, for example.
I made this program to inform my friends in a news group that I
changed ISP and let them know my new email address/site.

How to use it
-------------

You should be in DOS mode if you are working with Windows, whatever
version. I have tested in Win 3.x, Win95 a and OSR2 without any pro-
blem. At DOS prompt you should type :

     ADDEX <newsfile>  [outputfile]

Newsfile is the database of your Agent news reader. Output file is
the file name where you want to place the results of extracting.

Real example
------------

     ADDEX C:\PROGRA~1\AGENT\MYISP\0000876C.DAT ADDRESS.TXT

It means we tell the program to look at the specified database and
extract email addresses contained therein and write the results onto
Address.Txt file.
