LETTERWRITER is a different kind of address manager -- its specialty is
mailmerge.  You can keep address files full of different ``kinds'' of
people; i.e., business acquaintances, friends, or relatives.  You can
sort these different files by first name, last name, or zip code, just
as you would a more traditional database address manager.

But with LETTERWRITER you can also merge the database information into
an ASCII document, such as a letter that has been created in a
wordprocessor.  In this way you can imbed names, phrases, or paragraphs
into the body of a letter.  And you can create form letters by simply
typing out one letter you want to send to any number of different
addresses and specifying those addresses.  LETTERWRITER automatically
prints a letter with each address.  It can also print labels, envelopes,
address books, and lots more.
File Descriptions:

LW       COM  LETTERWRITER (executable program).
CONFIG   COM  DOS system configuration file.
READ     ME   Short description of LETTERWRITER (1 pg).
MANUAL        Documentation for LETTERWRITER (15 pp).
SUPPORT       Registration form for LETTERWRITER.
SAMPLE   ADR  Sample address for LETTERWRITER.
SAMPLE        Sample file.
CHECK    COM  Checks your copy of LETTERWRITER.
CHECK    TXT  Description of check.

         You can test your copy of the distribution diskette, to make
         sure the copy is accurate, by entering the command CHECK *.*
         at the DOS prompt.  The output should look like this:


CRCK ver 4.2B (MS DOS VERSION )
CTL-S pauses, CTL-C aborts

--> FILE:  LW      .COM         CRC = 1E 42

--> FILE:  CONFIG  .COM         CRC = D9 18

--> FILE:  MANUAL  .            CRC = BA C3

--> FILE:  READ    .ME          CRC = D7 99

--> FILE:  SUPPORT .            CRC = 8D 15

--> FILE:  SAMPLE  .ADR         CRC = 1E FC

--> FILE:  SAMPLE  .            CRC = B9 AF

--> FILE:  CHECK   .COM         CRC = BD 22

--> FILE:  CHECK   .TXT         CRC = unknown

 ---------------------> SUM OF CRCS = unknown

DONE


         Note: the CRC for CHECK.TXT will be incorrect as will be the
         total, because you cannot write a file's CRC to the file
         without altering the CRC of the file.
