Version 2 is a major upgrade from SuperMail 1.x. The main new features
are:

1. a major new Report Designer has been added. A sample report has been
included to illustrate the new capabilities.

2. additional fields have been added for address 2, phone 2, comment 1,
comment 2, and a special Tagged field.

3. the new Tagged field works in conjunction with the Filter. It allows
you to tag individual records and then set a filter for all tagged
records. Use File > Clear Tags to clear all tags.

4. records can also be Tagged on the Browse screen.

5. to realign columns on the Browse screen, select the column title by
pressing and holding the left mouse button, and then drag the column to
a new position. The new realignment is saved as the default alignment.

6. in order to avoid year 2000 problems, dates cannot be manually typed.
They are either automatically inserted when adding new records if you
have specified this in File > Preferences, or entered by clicking the
Date icon beside the date field when editing existing records.

7. the main data entry screen is now divided into two tabs, with all the
information except the memo field on one tab, and the memo on a second
tab.

8. you can save and restore Filters. With a Filter active, select File >
Save Filter. To restore a saved Filter, select File > Restore Filter.

9. you can copy the current record to the Windows Clipboard with File >
Copy Current Record. This is useful if you want to Paste the current
record data into another document.

10. the Label Design Screen is radically new. You can add lines, boxes,
ovals, clip art, counters, etc., in any font and color, with 3D effects,
and more.

11. the Letter utility has been strengthened with a number of additional
word-processing features.

12. the Envelope Design Screen has also been radically improved with
features similar to the Label Design Screen.

13. Duplicate Checking - duplicate matches can now be TAGGED (which
means you can then set a filter for tagged records and print a report of
possible duplicates)

14. Check and Repair State and Zip Codes -  matches can now be TAGGED.

15. Convert Case - now does Upper/Lower/Capitalize first letter - not
just upper.

16. Use File > Print > Print Current Record to print the current
record's data.

17. You can now select specific labels to print or skip on a sheet of
labels.
