- echo │ You should find several files here (in addition to ReadMe.Bat): ║
- echo │ ║
- echo │ MC.Exe Mail Call itself. To get started, just type MC. ║
- echo │ MC.Doc Mail Call's manual ║
- echo │ MCE.Com MC Express (RAM-resident version of Mail Call) \ registered ║
- echo │ MCE.Doc Manual for MC Express / users only ║
- echo │ *.Doc Several sample files to test MC's 'Personalized Document' ║
- echo │ feature. Letter.Doc & Memo.Doc are great for quick notes ║
- echo │ DialMe.Bas To experiment/find the right codes for your modem. ║

- echo │ We updated MC recently. For example, we added MC Express, a RAM-resident║
- echo │ program to print envelopes on HP LaserJets. Use it while still in your word║
- echo │ processor writing a letter. And MC Express also Saves-Names-To-A-File -- a ║
- echo │ mail merge file you can later import right into Mail Call. ║
- echo │ ║
- echo │ And MC now has UNLIMITED capacity - with its multiple-file feature. See ║
- echo │ MC.Doc for details. (Registered users: at the DOS prompt, enter 'MC Demo')║
- echo │ ║
- echo │ And now for the big news . . . ║

- echo ╒╡Form Design and Form Master ════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
- echo │ On top of the improvements to Mail Call, we just wrote two new programs: ║
- echo │ FORM DESIGN (PFD) and FORM MASTER (PFM). ║
- echo │ ║
- echo │ * Design professional quality forms with Form Design--it's fast and easy. ║
- echo │ * Then use either PFD or PFM to fill them out. ║
- echo │ - PFM pulls names, addresses, etc. from your Mail Call (or other) ║
- echo │ database, printing them right where you want them. ║
- echo │ - "Auto-Edit" lets you quickly fill out forms -- in areas you marked. ║
- echo │ - Math options (+-/*) add convenience, speed and accuracy !!! ║
- echo │ - Print 1 form, or batch-print forms for many people at once--filled ║
- echo │ out for you (PFM links forms to a database--filling them out for you)║
- echo │ ║
- echo │ PFD and PFM use many of the same commands as Mail Call (there's little ║
- echo │ new to learn). But the magic is their ability to use the same database ║
- echo │ files Mail Call does. This lets you manage most every piece of paper in ║
- echo │ your office or home -- with one, consistent set of programs. ║
- echo │ ║
- echo │ PFD and PFM are only $45. They'll work with most any printer. And they ║
- echo │ have special support for HP LaserJets (+/500/Series II or later) and Epson ║
- echo │ printers. They'll also work with any printer. ║

- echo MC is very easy to use. You can jump right in and use most features with
- echo little trouble. Just type MC at the DOS prompt to begin.
- echo ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
- echo But despite MC's 'apparent' simplicity, it has some powerful features.
- echo To get the most out of MC, at least a quick glance at MC.Doc is essential.
- echo To copy MC.Doc to your printer:
- echo * Ensure your printer has about 30-40 sheets of paper
- echo * Set it up to print 65-66 lines per page. MC.Doc sends a form feed
- echo at the end of each page; some pages are 60 lines long.
- echo * BE SURE to use fixed-space type (not proportional spacing). The
- echo tables and charts look terrible when printed with proportionally
- echo spaced fonts.
- echo * Type 'COPY MC.DOC PRN' at the DOS prompt
- echo * Registered users: also type 'COPY MCE.DOC PRN' to print MCE's
- echo manual (about 15-20 pages).

- echo please drop us a note with comments and suggestions.
