Public Address version 3.10 is not compatible with versions prior
to version 3.03. If this is a registered version please refer to
the instruction sheet on how to run the convert program to convert
your old Public Address files. If you have been evaluating a
prior version of Public Address please refer to the VENDOR.DOC
file to read about the new features in version 3.10. When you
decide to register you will be furnished with the convert
program.
INSTALLING PUBLIC ADDRESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Copy all the file on this disk to a directory on your
hard drive or you can run Public Address from this Floppy
by simply typing PA and pressing your enter key. I have
also included a small install program that will create a
directory on your C drive named PA and copy all the file
from this disk to the directory. No frills. If you are
going to be distributing this program as a Vendor or BBS
please make a copy of it BEFORE you run it from this disk.
It will create a configuration file when started that may
be non-compatible with other users systems.
2) You can print the documentation be typing: COPY *.DOC
PRN at the DOS prompt or typing: PRINT *.DOC. Make sure
you are in the same drive and directory that Public Address
was installed to when you do this.
RUNNING PUBLIC ADDRESS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Type PA from the drive or directory Public Address was
installed to. READ THE MANUAL!! Read ALL files with the
extension DOC. See #2 from above!
NEW FEATURES SINCE VERSION 3.03
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I added the ability to pick which return address is the
default from six. And I also made it so that you can have
different configurations for your laser printer or dot-matrix
printer. I again found a few more tricks to make it run a
little faster. I also moved the label number selection from
the print menu to the configuration menu. If your printer
type is "L"aser you will be presented with the laser label
selection screen otherwise you will get the "D"ot-matrix label
selection screen. I have also added the ability for Public
Address to assist employers with matching there employees
for car pooling. I found a few places where I could stream-line
the code. I was also able to make it easier at the same time.
Every time you enter anything in the configuration it will
automatically turn to upper case. I also have improved the error
checking a little too. I added the ability to start printing from
any position on a sheet of laser labels.
The biggest difference is Public Address now supports tagging and
copying records from one input file to another. You can also
turn off or on auto sorting, and auto duplicate deletion.
Remember, Shareware is kept alive by YOUR support. Register

I hope you enjoy using Public Address!
