:Short Description:
Floppy disk mailer maker--save po$tage! EZ to use!
:Long Description:
A forms generator geared for anyone who distributes and
tracks software sent or mailed to others such as:
(Shareware) software authors
office personnel
COMDEX "booth" operators
even more...
This program consists of the following elements:
1. A built-in 60000 byte capacity text editor
{You can use a separate editor or word processor
if you like}.
2. Built-in "point and shoot" file selection routine.
3. Built-in documentation (see below).
4. Two built-in data conversion routines for converting
ASCII and {ASHTON-TATE DBASE(R)} .DBF formatted $M$
data (see below) into the program's .ADR format (see
below).
5. Built-in routine to sort .ADR formatted $M$ records
by the first five characters of the zip/postal code
and the first two characters of the state/country
name. This program can sort about 5120 .ADR formatted
$M$ records.
(2) :Shareware/Public Domain/Freeware/Commercial (S,P,F,C): S
:Installation Instructions:
Single and dual floppy disk drive systems:
1. Get a COMPLETELY blank formatted floppy disk
{360K MS-DOS(R) format minimum} that is not
write-protected. Consult your DOS documentation
for instructions on formatting floppy disks if
necessary.
2. Start up {"boot"} your IBM PC or compatible computer
from a separate DOS disk or a "bootable" hard disk
{if any}.
3. Put the disk containing DSKMLR11.EXE in the computer's
emptied "A" drive.
4. Put the blank formatted disk in the computer's
emptied "B" drive {if any}.
5. Type "copy a:dskmlr11.exe b:dskmlr11.exe" at the "A>"
DOS prompt and press the enter key. Do not type in
the " 's that enclose the command you give to DOS to
copy DSKMLR11.EXE to the floppy disk in the "B"
drive. Single drive users will have to switch disks
when instructed to do so by DOS {DO NOT INSERT THE
WRONG DISK AT THE WRONG TIME! (put a write protect
tab on the original disk containing DSKMLR11.EXE to
avoid this problem)}.
6. Type "a:" and press the enter key.
7. Put disk with the one file DSKMLR11.EXE in the
emptied "A" drive.
Hard disk drive systems:
1. Start up {"boot"} your IBM PC or compatible computer
from a separate DOS disk or a "bootable" hard disk
{if any}.
2. Put the disk containing DSKMLR11.EXE in the computer's
emptied "A" drive.
3. Type "c:" and press the enter key at the DOS prompt
to change to the hard disk drive {hard disk drive C
assumed, substitute the letter assigned to your hard
disk drive if needed}.
4. Type "cd\" and press the enter key.
5. Type "md dskmlr" and press the enter key. I assume
this subdirectory doesn't allready exist on your
hard disk. If it does, skip this step.
6. Type "copy a:dskmlr11.exe c:\dskmlr\dskmlr11.exe"
and press the enter key.
7. Type "cd dskmlr" and press the enter key.
:Startup Instructions:
Type "dskmlr11" and press the enter key to see program
instructions, quick-start instructions, disclaimer, and
licensing and distribution information.
