I do my subscription management with FileMaker+. It's currently somewhat
primitive, but I keep an 'expires' field in the data record so I can tell
who's supposed to get what. I also keep a 'last shipped' record that I use
to track one time comps and other special shipments.

It's awkward, but it works. My long term hope is to write a hypercard stack
that'll do this for me and dump data out for various potboiler messages:
mailing labels, renewal letters, pleas for money, whatever. By using HC
for the data management and Word 3.01's mail merge facility, I think I can
put together a good system. I don't know of any commercial system for the
mac yet.
