### ACT! databases

ACT! is a powerful Contact Management application that stores all your contact information in a database format similar to xBASE databases (dBASE, Clipper, and FoxPro).

Note: Versions of ACT! before and including version 2 require the use a file called Crw.act which is not needed in versions 3 and 4. Choose the appropriate procedure based on the version of ACT! you are using.
