INSTALLATION NOTES file : readme
Note: There must be a 'FILES=25' statement in file C:\CONFIG.SYS. The number
of files must be at least 25. If you need to change the value, simply edit
the file with your word processor.
To make WPMerger easier to access you can:
∙ place a 'c:\wpm' in your 'path=...' statement
(located in file C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT)
∙ delete file c:\WPM.BAT.
(see your DOS reference manual for more specific information about PATHs)
Sample databases OFFICE and ADDRESS have been provided to help first time
users become more familiar with WPMerger. Database ADDRESS is an example of
how a friends and family database might be designed. OFFICE can be used as
a sample office database.
The following merge documents are sample reports to be used with database
OFFICE. They illustrate the merge commands necessary to merge data from a
merge data file with a word processor merge document to create a report.
SAMPLLTR.WP5 (Word Perfect - >= 5.0 versions)
SAMPLLTR.WP4 (Word Perfect - < 5.0 versions)
SAMPLLTR.DOC (Microsoft Word)
SAMPLLTR.SPR (Borland Sprint)
SAMPLLTR.PW2 (SPC Professioinal Write 2.0)
SAMPLLTR.WS (MicroPro WordStar)
SAMPLLTR.ED (PC-Write)
Also included with this install is a SAMPLE SHAREWARE DISTRIBUTOR DATABASE.
This database is not a complete list of nationwide distributors by any
means, but has been included to demonstrate how WPMerger can be used to
generate mailing lists. The SamplLtr documents can easily be modified to
be used with this database. To use them simply delete references to fields
Saluation, Add2. MName and Gen (these fields do not exist in the database.
An ASCII (text) file called WPMMAN.TXT located in the program directory
(C:\WPM) is a program manual that can be viewed or printed using your
word processor. Load the file into your word processor as a text file,
not as a word processing document.
To execute WPMerger simply enter: WPM
and press the enter key
