MANY THANKS for telling me this. 

It is a welcome shock to realize that somebody actually saw that the whole 
difference between Kaddressbook and a 1930s Rolodex is that the former is 
capable, given the right encouragement, of dialing numbers directly, 
rather than utilizing the human index finger. And your website says that 
you wrote Kall specifically for Kaddressbook!!!  And evidently nobody 
else has heard of this essential utility, which magnifies the value of 
Kaddressbook many fold.

Since it seems to be the only such purpose-designed program on the planet, 
one would think that the openSuSE crew would think to make it available 
as an RPM, but no. Or that KDE would mention it in the 
Kaddressbook "documentation"  =;-)8.  The mind boggles.

I will download it from your website tomorrow, and install it according to 
the directions provided.

Bless you, sir...
