- BEFORE INSTALLING ANY NEW FILES, MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL YOUR
- OLD MAILLIST FILES!!!! IT IS UNLIKELY ANYTHING WILL GO WRONG DURING
- UPDATE AND INSTALLATION, BUT IF SOMETHING DOES GO WRONG, YOU WILL NEED
- YOUR BACKUP. YOU MUST TAKE THIS ADVICE SERIOUSLY!!! ONCE YOU HAVE MADE
- A COMPLETE BACKUP, COPY THE NEW MAILLIST FILES INTO THE SAME SUBDIRECTORY
- THAT CONTAINS THE OLD MAILLIST FILES.

- CHANGES IN VERSION 5.3:
-
- Added another "extra" field
- Improved error handling
- Faster record filtering
- Internal changes for increased efficiency
- Separate MUPGRADE program provided to registered users to
- update files form earlier versions
-
- On the SPECIAL OPTIONS Menu:
- D. Change Defaults
- 1. Program Defaults
-
- A new option has been added: "Printer Port". In the past, all printer
- outputed was automatically directed to LPT1, the most commmon printer port.
- You can now set this to whichever printer port you are actually using. If
- you select an invalid port, the printer output will be save in a file of
- that name, with the extension PRN.
-
- A new option has been added: "Prefix Validation (Y/N)?" In the past,
- the program checked prefixes against a list of standard prefixes
- such as Mr., Ms., etc. The purpose was to help reduce data entry
- errors. However, we have found that some users need to enter unusual
- prefixes in this field. You may therefore turn off prefix validation
- with this option.
-
- H. File Repair
-
- This option has been removed. If you need to update file structures
- from a previous version, use the MUPGRADE program provided to all
- registered (paid) users. If your file structures have been damaged,
- you should use your backup copies. If you failed to make backup copies,
- you may need to call or write for technical support.
