                            README.DOC


 This version of APT Mailing Assistant for Windows is an evaluation
 copy of a program that provides you the capability of printing professional
 looking envelopes and labels on your PC printer that include U.S. Postal
 Service approved delivery point POSTNET bar codes to insure speedy and
 accurate delivery. You can use the program to print envelopes or labels
 one at a time as you need them or to print many envelopes or labels in
 succession when performing a bulk mailing for your business or
 organization. The program's bulk mailing facility sorts the mailing as
 specified by U.S.P.S. Classification Reform of 7/1/96. It also provides
 the capability to print your permit box on envelopes, thus saving you
 the cost of pre-printing these envelopes. Delivery point bar codes can
 save postage for bulk mailing and presorted first class. Zip code
 statistics can be obtained to make bundling of envelopes fast and easy.
 You can also print personalized return envelopes to include in your
 mailing. The program predefines types of labels for as well as providing
 the ability to define your own custom labels.

Updates to the Documentation
----------------------------
The following is information that was included too late to make the
printed documentation.

1. When starting APT Mailing Assistant for the first time, the printer
and paper information in the Selections screen may indicate the default
printer and paper for the your system, or it may indicate "(Null)" paper.
Occasionally, default paper may not be suitable for APT Mailing Assistant,
especially if the default paper is a special form (i.e. "Business Checks",
etc.). Please ensure you change the paper selection in the "Printer Setup"
menu to a paper APT Mailing Assistant can use (i.e. an envelope or 
"Letter") prior to using it for the first time. When you start the program 
in the future, the proper paper will appear.
