5 ShareWare
ShareWare is a marketing concept where you can try out software and see if it
fits your needs before you purchase the product. Mass Appeal is distributed
under this marketing strategy. If you use Mass Appeal on a regular basis, or
find the product useful, you are encouraged to register.
Registration provides you with several benefits. Foremost is a detailed, com-
plete manual. The manual you are currently reading is very limited in scope.
The registered users manual, which is distributed on diskette, is very com-
plete, and covers all aspects of Mass Appeal.
Secondly is the notice of updates to the program. Since it was first released
in the middle of 1987, Mass Appeal has gone through four releases. These
changes have been made mainly due to user requests. So, keeping up to date is
important.
6 Appendix A
To define a selection criteria, you simply need to tell Mass Appeal what
conditions should be met. For example, let's say you want a report of all the
entries where the State field is Alabama.
Once you get to the selection criteria screen, you have several choices:
6.1 More-Criteria
Allows you to define additional criteria using AND, OR, AND NOT and OR NOT
logic. You can narrow your report, labels, etc.. down by each of the fields
listed in the upper window. Simply enter the corresponding number.
6.2 Save-Criteria
Allows you to save a criteria you have built.
6.3 Retrieve-Criteria
Allows you to retrieve a previously saved criteria.
Page -11-
Mass Appeal - Ver. 3.0
6.4 Parenthesis
Allows you to place pahentheses around criteria. NOTE: You MUST have an equal
number of left and right parenthesis.
6.5 Done
Previously the Finished option. Means your have completed defining your se-
lection criteria, continue with processing.
7 Zip Appeal
Zipp Appeal is another program I have developed to work in conjunction with
Mass Appeal. If you have a hard disk, and about 3 Meg. of space, you can use
Zipp Appeal.
With Zipp Appeal on your hard disk, Mass Appeal automatically senses the pres-
ence of the zip code data file, and automatically inserts the city and state
