Long ago I used to keep addresses, phone numbers and other personal information in old Windows 3.1 Cardfile, which I missed in Microsoft Windows 95. The alternatives (MS Scheduler, MS Outlook) were either too complex or inconvenient to use. I just needed a simple, small notebook with the ability to locate an item quickly without any predefined fields (street addresses, zip, state, phone, fax, etc.).
In early 1998 I decided to make such an application myself. Until now it helps me, as a disordered person, to keep all things in one heap, but easy to find what I need. This small application is equally suitable for use as a small "database" for references, notes, addresses, links, recipes... or anything else you want quick access to.
Decades passed. Everybody moved to mobile apps, kept notes in cloud storage, but I still get a lot of old Windows azzCardfile support requests. That means hundreds of people are still using azzCardfile and it's time to release an improved version of it.
MS Windows (XP or later version) is required to install azzCardfile.
After clicking Download, installation file azzCardfile_xx_Setup.exe will be downloaded to your system.
It will usually be in your Downloads folder. Locate and double-click this file, then follow the instructions.
