ZipMail ** NOT A DEMO ** Unlimited Records **
(NOTE: ZipMail.ZIP Requires PKUNZIP 1.01 to unzip)
______________________________________________________________________
New Users: Make sure you download 3 valuable files that work in
conjunction with ZipMail (they are all on Exec-PC):
ZIP_DBF.ZIP A zipcode database to automatically append zipcodes
while in the ADD mode (Modify it in "Z" to also
include area codes)
ZMAIL_LJ.ZIP For LaserJet users (contains fonts)
SLPRO.ZIP An external database manipulator, but only for
those familiar with manipulating databases.
EZEDITOR.ZIP An editor that allows mailmerge of names database
(although your favorite word processor will also
work if it accepts command line arguments)
______________________________________________________________________
What is ZipMail?
ZipMail automates your mailing list, and offers the following features:
* Handles up to 8 separate on-line databases accessable though
"hot keys" 2-9 (unlimited off-line databases, accessable by
hitting "0" at menus #1, #2, and Util
* A unique "Rapid Review" mode allows
- Edit, Print, Delete, Recall, Transform, Insert, FormLetter
- Selective fields on Edit or print
- Auto dialer, and much more
* Import Wordstar or ASCII letters for mailmerge
* Contains its own word processor with letters store in a special
database
* Up to 36 "search codes" (record unique)
* Appends "mailing codes" for automated follow-ups
* Automated non-label lists, either to printer or ascii file
* "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 by user
* Automatic City/State search and add (when zip is provided)
(if zip_dbf.dbf is also downloaded)
* 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
- Create a "pick list" for marking and deleting
* Shells out to your own text editor (if its name is supplied)
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, which it
shouldn't because it will be overwritten with new updates).
Setup: Use UTILS/"N" to set up your own subdirectories,
Use UTILS/"S" to set up your system variables.
Monochrome: ZipMail.exe now automatically calls mono screens if "M" is
selected in UTILS/"S" mode. Leave me a message if problems.
