I was just wondering where I could get a reasonably large set of sample data to demonstrate my mailmerge type program, and this will serve the purpose nicely. It will also enable me to test it on a much larger set of data than my laboriously assembled private address book (which has 666 entries). (My program worked well with the 500 entry file, but had serious problems with the 5000 entry file. However when I cut this back to 1700 entries it again worked correctly, though it was a bit slow.)
