SECTION 1
THIS IS TBS MAILLIST(TM)
Thank you for your interest in TBS Maillist(TM). TBS Maillist is a name &
address management utility for IBM(TM) Personal Computers, Personal
System/2(TM), and other PC compatible computers.
TBS Maillist is a simple, yet powerful, name and address management program.
A on-line, context sensitive help system provides help with the press of the
F1 key. TBS Maillist was written to provide a simple means of entering names
for a variety of different groups, and to be able to retrieve them and to
print out mailing labels and lists by group.
TBS Maillist gives you a simple, straightforward, menu driven system to allow
for all operations, such as entering names and addresses, and printing mailing
labels and lists. The only limit that you have on the number of names in the
file is the amount of disk space available to you.
This document describes the installation and usage of TBS Maillist. It also
describes many features and functions of the program. Once you begin using
TBS Maillist, you'll discover more about how it works from the on-line help
facility and by experimenting with the various commands.

SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
2-1 System Requirements
TBS Maillist requires an IBM PC, XT, AT, PS/2 or compatible computer with 384K RAM
(or more) to work properly. In addition, version 2.0 or greater of PC-DOS or
MS-DOS is required.
TBS Maillist requires approximately 240K of computer memory to contain the
program's executable code and common data. Additional memory is allocated as
required.
TBS Maillist works well with the IBM Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA), Color
Graphics Adapter (CGA), Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA), Video Graphics
Array (VGA), and compatibles. Other video adapters that can emulate either
the MDA or CGA should work properly.
2-2 Installing TBS Maillist
Installing TBS Maillist is a very simple process. Basically, we will be
creating a subdirectory on the hard disk and coping the contents of the floppy
disk to the subdirectory. The following makes the assumption that you will
be copying from drive A: to your hard disk C:, and that the name of the
subdirectory you will be using is MAILLIST.
C:>MD MAILLST
C:>COPY A:*.* C:\MAILLIST
PLEASE NOTE!
There may be important information on this release of TBS Maillist that did not
make it into this manual. Please check the READ.ME file on your distribution
diskette for the most current data. Thank you!

Mailing labels are printed in Zip Code sequence, and use one wide labels
(3" by 15/16" or 3.5" x 15/16).

carriage printer that is in condensed print mode.

SECTION 4
SHAREWARE CONSIDERATIONS
TBS Maillist is distributed under the shareware marketing concept - it is NOT
free software and it HAS NOT been released to the public domain. The
documentation, executable images, and all other files distributed with TBS
Maillist are copyrighted by Taylor Business Software.
4-1 What is Shareware?
Shareware is a way of distributing computer software that allows you to try
out a program before you purchase it. Programs distributed as Shareware
typically give you some period of time to use the program and evaluate its
usefulness to you. If the program doesn't meet your needs, you're under no
obligation to pay for it. If you do find the program useful and wish to
continue using it, the Shareware program's author will request that you pay
for the program by sending him or her a completed registration form and
payment.
If you find TBS Maillist to be a useful addition to your software library, please
become a registered user by completing the enclosed registration form and
returning it along with the indicated license/registration fee. We hope that
you will agree that the registration fee is a small price to pay for the
continued use of the program. It requires a large investment to develop,
market, and support a product of this complexity. Your support in the form of
a registration payment will help us to continue to make good software
available at very reasonable prices. TBS Maillist is also available at very
special rates to non-profit organizations and to to educational institutions.
Call or write to Taylor Business Software for more information.
4-2 How to Register
If you use TBS Maillist on a regular basis, you should print out and complete the
file REGISTER.FRM and return it along with the indicated license/registration
fee. Registration gives you the right to use the software as documented in
the license. There are two types of registrations available: 1) regular, and
2) quantity.
The reasonable registration fee establishes you as a registered user of TBS
Maillist and upon our receipt , you will be mailed a diskette containing the
most recent TBS Maillist version, a printed manual, extended technical support,
and notice of product updates. Note that the version mailed to you may be the
same version you already have, although updated versions will be released
from time to time.
