Email Merge is a program for creating mailings of individualised eMail messages. It takes a database of information, and an eMail message, and merges the two to create customised eMail messages.
The potential uses are endless, and include invoicing, sales, debt recovery, student grading, and even personal messages.
What do I need to run Email Merge ?
• An Apple Macintosh, Power Macintosh, Performa, PowerBook or other MacOS-compatible.
• System 7.x, with AppleScript support.
• Claris Emailer, Eudora Light, or Eudora Pro (some of these are freely available on the Internet).
How do I get more help ?
There are two sources of help within Email Merge. Firstly, there is the Help screen, which can be viewed by clicking the bar at the bottom of the window. Some of this information is duplicated there. The second source is popup help, which is active when the eye button is highlighted. This describes the purpose and function of whatever is at the current mouse position.
How does payment work?
Email Merge is a shareware program, meaning that anyone who uses it is obliged to register by sending payment.
Unfortunately, this rarely happens, therefore, while unregistered, Email Merge restricts the number of records in the database to 20. This still enables a comprehensive evaluation to be performed.
The current single-CPU license price of Email Merge is $30, and $25 each for two or more licenses. A site license covering a single organisation for an area of up to 100 miles in radius costs $250. For about other licensing arrangements, please contact Sig Software.
Payment is carried out either with the enclosed Register Email Merge program, or using a page on the World Wide Web. Payment may be made by cash, cheque, VISA, MasterCard, American Express or First Virtual.
To purchase a registration on the World Wide Web :
• Click on Purchase via Web in the about dialog box or go to http://order.kagi.com/?BX

Please be patient, as eMailed registrations may take up to 3 days for processing, and faxes and postal mail may take up to 8 days.
Once payment has been processed, a user name and code number will be sent via eMail. Registrations will include the number and type of licenses purchased. The name and code received must be entered exactly as shown. Email Merge will now be registered.
