Hi Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
======================================================================
ANNOUNCING "RIZWAN LABELS" VERSION 4.0                       SHAREWARE
Personal Mail List Manager                         FOR IBM COMPATIBLES
======================================================================

The long awaited Rizwan Labels version 4.0 has been finally
released.  This new version is almost a total rewrite of
the original program and has many more useful features added.
One obvious improvement, you will notice, is the all-new
menu driven environment and it has much more... 

To download FTP to  wuarchive.wustl.edu  as anonymous and look for
it under the "pub" directory.  The program itself is compressed
to the file named  rl40.arc  but there is also a help file named 
rl40.txt which contains downloading & uncompressing guideline.
It will soon be available at other FTP sites.

The ARC compression format used is compatible with, UNIX based ARC
utility and the PCARC 5.x, and I suppose it is also compatible with 
PKARC (Katz), but I am not sure.  I do not have access to the 
PKZIP (Katz) format.

For those who are not familiar with the software here is a brief
overview:

Rizwan Labels 4.0 is a powerful mailing list database program
for the IBM Compatible DOS based PCs.  It was first developed in
1989 and is now at version 4.0. It is fully menu-driven and
includes a conversion utility to export files to others programs
such as wordprocessors and spreadsheets.  It is exceptionally
easy to use but yet powerful.  It supports both dot-matrix and HP
compatible laser printers, and can print labels on almost any
form size for up to 4 columns across and unlimited number of
rows.  It also has a special feature to print mailing addresses
directly onto the mailing envelope and it prints the return address
automatically everytime.  Plus, it has a special set of objects
called "General Labels" which let the user enter free form text
for designing e.g. disk labels, video cassette labels, rolodex, etc.
and prints them using any three predefined borders with varying
size.  Furthermore, it provides record search and selection options
for data manipulation of sub-sets within a file with easy menu
commands.  Also, it sorts records according to any desired field
and allows the user to print reference lists/labels based on any
record field eg. city, state, etc.  It can also group records
together within a file based on your custom group name, and you
can have any number groups with a file and several files.  To keep
it short, if you try it out... you will know what's it all about.  
So good luck!
