Abstract:

A relationship management system uses a database to store contact information related to a number of contacts and to store a number of folders, each of which reference one or more of the contacts within the database. The relationship management system also stores a set of contact-user pairs defining known relationships between users of the relationship management system and the contacts stored in the database. For each contact-user pair, an opt-in field indicating if the contact-user relationship is to be available for use in determining which users know a specified user is stored. If the opt-in flag is set, information pertaining to the nature of the relationship between the user and the contact, such as a relationship description, an indication of the type or strength of the relationship, etc. is also stored. At any desired time, a user may implement a user-contact reference routine to determine which users know a specified contact.

Abstract:

Longitudinally extended printing of all types of computer output for reading in the direction in which the paper was caused to flow during printing is provided for instead of the conventional printing for reading across such direction. Existing hardware is utilized, with the imprinting characters having their reading axes disposed transversely to the axis of paper flow. Imprinting of the advancing print-out form is by means of a succession of transverse rows of the transversely orientated characters, and in each imprinted row there is added a respective character to each of a plurality of longitudinally extended lines of data to be read at completion of the print out in the direction of paper advance during printing and across the rows of imprinted characters.
