Description: ============

A simple mail merge program for using with the letter format of LaTeX. MailMerge expects 2 parameters, the first is the .tex file containing the letter, the second is the file of addresses. PrAddr prints a nicely formatted address list from the mail merge data file used by MailMerge.

****************************************************************************

Usage: ======

Noth utilities can only be run from the CLI.

MailMerge [-c<command>] [-d<driver>] <letter.tex> <addresses.lis> —————————————————————–

The letter.tex file must contain a:

line and the file of addresses should contain the addresses, one to a line in the form:

23, Stag Leys,
Ashtead,
Surrey,
KT21 2TD.

Each line from the file will be inserted into the letter in turn, TeX will be run on the file and dviljp will then be run.

The -c and -d flags allow the default TeX command and dviljp command respectively to be replaced.

The source can be modified easilly to change these defaults.

PrAddr <addresses.lis> <output.lis> ———————————–

Creates a neatly formatted file from the <addresses.lis> file used by MailMerge. Useful to document who you've sent letters to and to check you typed all the addresses properly!
