This is the MAILLIST portion of THE FOLDER SYSTEM designed to work with
your PCWrite program. It will keep any number of records (information
on individuals or companies) from which you can create directly address
labels and, indirectly through the merge function of your word processing
program, letters addressed to individuals by name and address, create and
maintain telephone books, etc. Most of the elements controlled from this
screen are self evident. The following need some explanation:
[L] Labels - a simple program to print 3 1/2" x 15/16" labels on a
    dot-matrix printer. Selection by order (Name, ZIP/PostCode, Office Tel.
    or Home Tel.) is possible, and then by specific criteria (a ZIP code, a
    telephone area code, etc.).
[M] Merge - permits creation of ASCII merge files from records.
[O] Other - create/retrieve/delete new files (collection of individual
    records).

[X] Reindex - The records maintained by MAILLIST are found by using indexes
    rather than by sorting of the records. This greatly accelerates the
    finding of individual or a series of records. Indexes sometimes, but
    rarely, get corrupted and must be recreated. In large files, this can
    take a great deal of time, so use the utility sparingly. NEVER
    INTERRUPT SINCE THE INDEXES WILL SURELY BE CORRUPTED. Read your manual
    in case of accidental interruption.
[E] Export - Create ASCII disk file on contents. - See Manual.
[I] Import - Bring into this file other records from a matching ASCII file.
    - See Manual.
[R] (or "Esc" key) Return to THE FOLDER SYSTEM.
[F1] This help screen - each screen has its own context sensitive help
     screen.

Database files created by the MAILLIST portion of THE FOLDER SYSTEM will be
in a special sub-directory called MAILLIST - for example, if The Folder
System is install in directory C:\PCW, the database files will be in
sub-directory C:\PCW\MAILLIST. These files are (using a database called
PERSONAL MAILLING RECORD as an example):

        C:\PCW\MAILLIST\PERSONAL.DAT    {data file}
        C:\PCW\MAILLIST\PERSONAL.HTX    {home telephone index file}
        C:\PCW\MAILLIST\PERSONAL.MAX    {file mark index file}
        C:\PCW\MAILLIST\PERSONAL.NAX    {name index file}
        C:\PCW\MAILLIST\PERSONAL.OTX    {office telephone index file}
        C:\PCW\MAILLIST\PERSONAL.ZIX    {ZIP/Post Code index file}

The program finds these files through the use of a small database called
C:\PCW\NAMEFILE.DTA and its index C:\PCW\NAMEFILE.INX.
