The Question: Are there any public-domain (or relatively inexspensive) variable-field list management programs available for our system? We need a program that is as user friendly and as close to WYSIWYG as possible. (If anyone is familiar with the Xerox system, we are looking for something similar to that.) The Reply : Please e-mail responses to the address(es) at the bottom and I will post a summarization. If you are unable to mail, posting is okay.
