FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - ADDRESSED FOR SUCCESS V1.1 IS NOW AVAILABLE!

June 3rd, 1994

EGO Systems is pleased to announce that version 1.1 of Addressed For Success is now shipping!

[Yes, you read that correctly:  "EGO Systems," not "ECON Technologies".  Several weeks ago, EGO Systems and ECON Technologies reached an agreement whereby EGO Systems became the publisher of Addressed For Success and will be responsible for all technical support and future updates. We are very excited about acquiring this excellent program and look forward to selling and supporting it for a long time to come.]

For those of you that aren't familiar with Addressed For Success (AFS), it is a IIGS-specific, desktop-based application that allows you to easily maintain mailing lists and create and print a wide variety of labels from those lists.

Each mailing list can be easily sorted on any field (a bulk-mail sorting option is also included to help reduce your postage costs), and records can easily be searched and selected using AFS's powerful "Query By Example" feature. AFS also allows you to quickly and easily import lists from AppleWorks Classic databases (it even reads new version 4.0 files!), or from any tab-delimited ASCII text file.

Once you've got your list created, AFS lets you design and print a wide variety of labels on any printer that you can use from a IIGS desktop program. Each label can have a pre-defined return address and up to three super high-res graphics on it. (Print Shop and Print Shop IIGS graphics can also be used if they are first converted to super high-res format.) The font, size and style of the label text can be changed to any font that you have installed on your system, and graphics can be scaled both horizontally and vertically to ensure the best results when printing.

AFS includes pre-defined templates for dozens of Avery brand labels for use with both the ImageWriter and the LaserWriter. But, if you have a type of label that isn't included, AFS allows you to easily create and save your own label templates. All you have to do is type in simple measurements for the top and left margins, and the vertical and horizontal spacing between labels on the page! You can then save your new label template and use it over and over again.

If you already own AFS, you might be wondering what's new in version 1.1.

* AFS now correctly imports all records from an AppleWorks Classic database file. (Previously, the last record would be missed during an import operation.)

* Text files with an auxiliary type other than zero will now show up and can be imported.

* As mentioned earlier, AppleWorks Classic v4.0 database files can now be imported.

* Improved keyboard navigation allows you to quickly move through your mailing lists without having to use the mouse.

And, best of all, we've lowered the retail price of Addressed For Success from US$49.95 to only US$35! This price includes first class shipping to anywhere in the United States, Air Mail shipping to Canada and Mexico, and surface mail shipping to anywhere else in the world. (For Air Mail delivery outside North America, add US$3, for a total of US$38.) As an added bonus, we'll throw in a coupon for a FREE issue of GS+ Magazine, the only Apple IIGS Magazine and Disk publication!

If you already own AFS, the cost to upgrade to version 1.1 is only US$5 (which includes First Class or Air Mail shipping to anywhere in the world).
