History
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).
V3.27
Corrected a loading bug for new users only
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. Example: Select a directory and transfer its
structure to \zipmail\temp by specifying an unused SRCH code.
Then select \zipmail\temp and append records into it by both
SRCH code and a zip range. Append again for zip ranges #2 and
#3 and so forth. Now you have a special database whose selection
critera is based on multiple zip ranges. Note that if you intend
to create labels it gets a bit tricky if you want to insert
"mail codes", which will be inserted only in the temp directory.
You could delete from source as you, and then append back, but
if you drew from multiple sources you would have a problem.
V3.25
Eliminated superfluous print after ASCII label print
Removed restriction for printing labels with empty LAST/FIRST name
fields.
Fixed minor bug when printing letters (was omitting institute)
Eliminated unused printer codes
Added ability to manually send Font code to printer (UTILS/P/F)
V3.24
Added ability to print labels to an ASCII disk file (last question
prior to printing label)
Added an external .EXE file for indexing (hopefully will eliminate
memory index errors)
Can now select zip/state lengths when creating new databases
Convert to Upper/Lower case did not work (in Utils/U)
Updated State "Counts" in menu #2 for 4-char state compatibility
Upper/lower case conversion now also converts first1, first2 fields
Extended index memory to 128K
In ADD mode, "local" now accepts upper or lower case
"Q" now departs util and rapid review screens (Quit to previous?)
V3.23
Corrected error (for those NOT using optional ZIP.DBF) while in
the ADD mode.
V3.22
Corrects error in automatic state verification (sorry 'bout that)
Reinstates capability to add remarks while in the ADD mode.
V3.21
Corrects minor bug (non-destructive crash) when exiting UTILS/SYSTEM
mode.
V3.20
Corrects some problems for those using multiple databases.
Allows expansion of ZIP codes to 10 characters (zip+4, foreign, etc)
Allows selectable spaces between date and name/address in mailmerge
Automatic State help when an incorrect state has been enterred.
Automatic search of complete hard drive and partitions for zipmail
directories during the update process.
Note that you can have one database that is strickly foreign and the
others domestic (with 5 character ZIP code).
V3.14
Allows DELETE of entire directory and its contents
Allow calling Utilities from Menu #2
V3.13
Now allows copying records selected by SRCH code out of the
current directory into a new directory. Also allows appending
records from a selected directory into the current directory
(also by SRCH code). Optionally delete to eliminate duplicates.
Can now Delete by SRCH code.
Corrected a minor bug in EDIT screen print with <F5>.
V3.11
Very minor bug fixes. Calling zip codes from edit screen caused an
error when the zipcode database was not used. Those using the dialer
received an error if the right sequence was not followed. Nothing
else major.
V3.10
Switched to Blinker compiler to better utilize memory. Rather than
running close to the edge, now have over 100K available at any one time.
Also corrected mailing labels problem when using zip code index order.
V3.03
MailMerge no longer displays the screen asking for label margins.
Added automatic positioning of body text during MailMerge.
Corrected dialer bug
Added ability to delete unwanted records in PRINTER database.
Added dialer <Alt-D> to Rapid Review and Edit screen
Added Form Letter print to individual records <Alt-F> in Rapid
Review and Edit screen
Made the number of directories for your databases virtually unlimited.
Corrected a number of minor bugs (including Help)
V3.01
Now allows the use of database #2 for other than the master directory.
However, do not use the master directory (\zipmail) for your personal
files. Always use a subdirectory off of \zipmail (i.e., \zipmail\names)
Added a warning whenever a macro contains the word FORMAT.
Added the automatic dialer to EDIT screen.
V3.00
VIDPOP is no longer needed (saves 38K of memory)
BROWSE can now select records to EDIT, with selectable fields
SRCH codes are now both selectable and deselectable (or combined)
Up to 10 MACROS can be assigned to run programs external to ZipMail
Multiple directories can now be indexed over night
A SuperFunction shell allows creating/manipulating your own databases
No changes in NAMES.DBF, but new pathes.str is included
Memory utilization has been improved with overlay()
Will overwrite your PRINTER.DBF, so if yours is special save it and
then restore it after 3.00 installation.
