Printing of the pages is done with little user choice in formatting. Listing a hard copy of the file contents allows 11 items per printer page. The program is preset to print single row labels (3 1/2 X 15/16 in.) using a four-line address.
However. , the user determines whatinformation to include on the labels aswell as which labels to print duringany run. He may choose to print allpages. , or only those based on the lastname. , ZIP code, city, state. , user codeor p;_ige page number. Of course. , by using the conversionoption and TI-Writer. , the user canincorporate Mail-Call files in correspondencecorrespondence. Although the Mail-Call filescan be converted to suit TI-Writer. TI-Writer files c�rnnot cannot be converted to beused by Mail-Call. ===Ease of Use': === This program is easy touse. The only problem I had initiullyinitially was while using the conversion programprogram. I entered an improper file numename and the program stopped und and thecomputer spit out an error message.There was no problem in getting itgoing again. My. principal reservation has to dowith the fact that all operations run outof a single disk drive, resulting in a lotof disk switching. I'd like to see anoption that permits th� the use of twodrives. , one for program storage. , theother for data storage. (The companysays it recently modified the programso that it can also be used with multipledrives.) Also. , as the mailing list getslonger. , the time it takes for items to beadded increase proportionately. Writing e;_ich Writing each entry to disk took from 11 to 15seconds on average. I don't know whatcan be done to speed it up since itseems to be a limitation of ExtendedBASIC and not the programmer. Atthis price. I'm willing to put up with afew inconveniences. The fact that itwon't accept nine-digit ZIP codesdoesn't bother me at ullall. Who usesthem'?
