ZipMail ** NOT A DEMO ** Unlimited Records **
NEW FEATURES: V3.28
Corrected a problem in Rapid Review while in an index order other
than ALPHA or ZIP. Now starts at top of indexed file, and you can
now LOCATE zips and addresses (when indexed on zip or address).
NEW FEATURES: V3.27
Corrected a loading bug for new users only
Changed index meter. Runs a little faster and displays differently.
Added # records to directory list (Menu #1/0)
Preparing to switch to Clipper 5.01
In Rapid Review, no longer need Alpha zip to "locate" by lastname.
In Rapid Review, added highlighted bar.
V3.26
Added feature to allow bulk indexing of all directories.
Added feature to allow selecting which directories are to be
placed in "hot key" pathes 3-9 (UTIL/A).
Added ZAP all records (Menu #1/D). Useful when using temp databases.
Added a feature in the UTIL/Transfer/Append function to allow
differentiation not only by SRCH code, but also zip range.
In three areas, I have now allow selection of a new directory/
database from a list of all directories on all drives (not just
the current drive). The three areas are (a) indexing (UTIL/I),
(b) Transfer/Append (UTIL/T) and (c) the "0" selection from
menues 1 & 2.
The two above capabilities allows users to select from any zipmail
directory on any drive, plus manipulate temporary files to your
hearts content.
______________________________________________________________________
New Users: Make sure you download 3 valuable files that work in
conjunction with ZipMail:
EZEDITOR.ZIP ZIP_DBF.ZIP SLPRO.ZIP
(NOTE: Requires new version PKUNZIP 1.01 to unzip)

Now, what IS ZipMail?
ZipMail automates your mailing list, and offers the following features:
* Handles up to 8 separate on-line databases (unlimited off-line)
* A unique "Rapid Review" mode allows
- Edit, Print, Delete, Recall, Transform, Insert, FormLetter
- Selective fields on Edit or print
- Auto dialer
* Import Wordstar or ASCII letters for mailmerge
* Up to 36 "search codes" (record unique)
* Appends "mailing codes" for automated follow-ups
* Automated non-label lists
* "Code count" to predetermine needed mailing pieces ahead of time
* Optional "repeat addresses" in ADD and Rapid Review modes
* Function keys in ADD mode can be personalized
* Automatic City/State search and add (when zip is provided)
* On-line checking for possible duplicates while in ADD mode
* Automatic, selectable salutations (record unique)
* Management of duplicate entries handled in three ways:
- Automatic alert during the ADD function
- Interactive Screen display of duplicates
- Print out of all potential duplicates
* Shells out to your own text editor
It interacts with the Zipmail mail/merge program
MailMerge Feature: Since I do not have the programs Wordperfect, Word
and Wordstar, the files created by ZipMail could not be
tested. They appear identical to others I've seen, but
if they don't work you will have to contact me.
Download: All installs should be made in a directory named \zipmail
and "overwrite" those files that are there (**PROVIDING**
that your names.dbf does not reside in \zipmail.
Setup: Use UTILS/"N" to set up a subdirectory, UTILS/"S" to set up
system variables.
Monochrome: ZipMail.exe now automatically calls mono screens if "M" is
selected in UTILS/"S" mode. Leave me a message if problems.
Support Programs: ZipMail makes good use of the Shareware editor
EZEDITOR, although any text editor that accepts command line
arguments will work. ZIP_DBF.ZIP provides the zip code
database used in the ADD mode and for zip code look ups.
It requires 3MB of disk space, however. SLPRO.ZIP allows you
to create your own databases.
