=*=*=¢ MIGHTY MAILER DOCS (see MAILLIST.BAS¢ on this OL' HACKERS Jan/Feb 1995¢ Newsletter.) By Philip Bate, Ph.D.-¢ Antic magazine September, 1987. With¢ additional MODS. by ALEX PIGNATO, and¢ DOCS courtesy of T.W.A.U.G.¢¢ Wouldn't you like to have a mailing¢ list that can do all of the¢ following?¢¢ 1. Finds any name/address entry from¢ any part of the name/address--such as¢ first name, last name, number or¢ street.¢¢ 2. Prints on labels, envelopes or¢ letters.¢¢ 3. Scrolls through the mail list and¢ can print all selected entries.¢¢ 4. Allows easy additions or deletions¢ to the list.¢¢ 5. Automatically loads a personal¢ address file when booted.¢¢ 6. Saves the updated list with one¢ keystroke.¢¢ 7. Makes it easy to build a bulk¢ mailing list of any kind of length ¢ without need for alphabetizing.¢¢ 8. Works extremely fast as well as ¢ being simple to use.¢¢ Sound too good to be true? Well, it¢ is true--and Mighty Mailer has even¢ more features. It's error-trapped, so¢ keystroke mistakes won't halt the¢ program. It's operated almost entirely¢ with single-key menu selections. It¢ even automatically chooses typewriter¢ mode or typing in capitals, when¢ needed.¢¢ USING MIGHTY MAILER¢¢ The main menu offers seven choices. ¢ Find & Print, Scroll Or Print, Print¢ Label, Screen List, Change Menu, Dir & Load, and Make New List. Each is ¢ selected by a single keystroke.¢¢ Find & Print--Useful for people who¢ write a lot of letters. Your personal¢ address list is automatically loaded¢ upon booting. Now you select this¢ option. Type in part of the¢ addressee's name and load the envelope¢ or letter into the printer. Just one¢ more keystroke prints the name and¢ address--simply and quickly.¢¢ Scroll Or Print--Allows scrolling¢ without printing, or printing on¢ either an envelope or letter. This¢ starts with the first name/address on¢ the list and goes on to the last.¢ Selective printing of any entry on the¢ list is allowed.¢ Print Labels--Prints the entire list¢ without pausing. Lines 440 and 450 are¢ used for a message, but they can also¢ be used to enter printer spacing¢ information for the labels.¢¢ Screen--Quality displays the entire¢ list on screen, useful for checking¢ which list it is or searching a¢ particular name. Use Ctrl+1 to scroll!¢¢ Change Menu--Add or delete a¢ name/address entry. Both selections¢ remind you which mailing list is¢ loaded, and both return to the Change¢ Menu instead of the Main Menu. The¢ third Change Menu selection is SAVE.¢¢ For added safety, the current¢ filename is displayed and you save¢ changes to this filename with just one¢ keystroke. The last selection returns¢ you to the main menu without saving.¢¢ Dir & Load--Displays the disk¢ directory and asks for a filename,¢ which it then loads, replacing the¢ automatically loaded list (D:ADDLIST,¢ or your filemname). Note: This program¢ was written primarily for single disk¢ drives, so multiple disk drive users¢ will have to modify it for additional¢ drive names.¢¢ Make New List--Starts a new¢ "DEVICE:FILENAME" and then uses the¢ Add-Name option of the Change Menu.¢ This means that you return to the¢ Change Menu after completing a new¢ list, so it's easy to save.¢¢ Important: It's easier to make the¢ original mailing list on your word¢ processor. simply type one (RETURN)¢ after each line in an address and two¢ (RETURNS) after each complete address. ¢ ** end **¢
