Surgeon

Surgeon is a very simple program that lets you add and modify Persons on the BeOS. The reason for its exitence is the fact that there was no People-like application included with DR9. Although there is a People app included with the BeOS now, Surgeon has some advantages over People. For example, the editor window acceps new Person files dropped on it, and it offers a separate tab with a textview for 'comments' about a certain Person.

This is version 0.91, uploaded 16 March 1998. New in this version is support for ICQ numbers. StyledEdit documentation is included. Also in the archive as of version 0.91 is mkpeople, a little command line utility to generate Person files from a file containing a list of name/email address pairs. mkpeople comes with documentation and source.

The Nickname attribute was added on request by Adamation, Inc.
