DISK ID#: 3BLM-01
BOOTABLE: YES
On side one of this disk, you will find information about the
articles published by Dr. Bloom over the years and where to find them. We
have provided them to you in two different forms. If you have /// EZ Pieces,
or AppleWorks, there is a Data Base file which you can pull into the program
and use directly. We have also provided most of the same basic information
in the form of an ASCII text file which your Menu.Maker program is able to
read. Use the Text.Dump program to print it (or load it into any word
processing program and print from there.)
Also on side one, you will find a listing of disks developed by Dr.
Bloom and placed into the public Domain. As with the articles, we have
included both a /// EZ Pieces Data Base file and an ASCII file with the same
basic information, including where to obtain the disks and how much they
cost.
On side two of this disk you will find Dr. Bloom's fine series of
articles on "Issues in MicroComputer File and Data Conversion." Basically,
that means articles discussing how to get information from one computer to
another. There are a total of 12 columns included on side two. To read
them, simply highlight the "Run.Issues" selection from Menu.Maker and hit
. You will be asked to turn the disk over and Basic will take it
from there. MENU.MAKER will let you print any text file, or you can pull
them into any Apple family word processor. We've also included "Print.All"
that can print all the text files you like.
The "Issues" menu looks like this:

"GUCSPAR" is the Great Unified Catalyst/Selector Pascal Runtime
Disk. This is a version of Pascal that is designed to run your Pascal
program without having to load the entire Pascal Operating System. That
translates into a 30% time savings and is also a keystroke saver,
especially for Catalyst users. Pascal knowledge required.

PDS NAME: Mail List Manager Utilities by Bloom
DISK ID#: 3BLM-08
BOOTABLE?: Bootable
MLM Utilities are a set of very useful utility
programs for Mail List Manager, the original mail list manager program
for the Apple ///. Developed by Dr. Al Bloom.
MLM Utilities consists of seven modules:
1. MLMINFO consolidates all the important information about an
MLM file on a single page -- your file's content, structure,
sort fields, and print-control specifications.
2. MLMSORT adds the power of a general-purpose sort to your
MLM system. It resequences a file in any order you desire,
using any of the up to 14 data fields in an MLM record.
3. MLMLIST is a flexible and sophisticated list facility for
attractive and meaningful display of MLM data. This utility
allows you to list any MLM file data items in an informative
layout of your own choosing.
4. MLMCNVT allows you to respond to changing needs by convert-
ing an MLM file into another layout. You may rename and
reorganize the data in an MLM record, delete obsolete
fields, combine and split fields, and create new fields.
5. MLMERGE merges the records of a two-disk MLM file. Dupli-
cate records are not merged into the resulting output file.
The result may be combined or equally divided between two
output files for easy record insertion.
6. MLMASCI converts MLM files to formats that can be loaded
into other systems -- AppleWriter, Keystroke, PFS, /// Easy
Pieces, etc. MLMASCI has four output formats: Apple Writer
mail/merge, ASCII text, Name:Value, and DIF.
7. MLMUPLD uploads (creates) MLM files from other systems and
programs. MLMUPLD accepts four input formats: ASCII text,
Name:Value, DIF, and "comma separated value."
The utilities are an integrated system. The programs are
invoked from, and return to, a master menu for ease of use.
Full use of "MLM Utilities" requires a 256K Apple /// with an
external disk drive, and "Mail List Manager" (Version 1.0 or
1.1). A mass storage disk is necessary for MLMERGE.
This disk is a self-booting Pascal disk and requires 3BLM-09 and 10.
Completely documented. See additional information
on disk 3BLM-10 (side two).
