Hi, I have to select a program to do Mailing list and form letter generation. The functions required are ability to 'scrunch' out blank lines so the labels look nice; ability to select only those records with a key field matching the requested key; ability to only print some of the fields; ability to do form letters (Or data file compatibilty with Word's form letter function); and most importantly- it has to work with a laserwriter. Please don't suggest Word - it does do everything, except that you really can't do key-selection of label output on a non-imagewriter. (Try it- without recursive INCLUDEing or one of WHILE/UNTIL/GOTO instructions you can't) If anyone can suggest a dedicated Mail program OR a database that WILL do this relatively easily please let me know. If your interested in hearing results also let me know. Thanks, Mike. InterNet: isr@rodan.acs.syr.edu BITNET: SENSORY@SUNRIS
