ADVANCED DATABASE SYSTEMS ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF DIRECTMAIL, THE ULTIMATE
DIRECT MAIL TOOL

directMAIL is a cross-platform contact manager and mass-mail producer that
simplifies direct-mail campaigns. Instead of using separate contact and
word-processing software to send letters, directMAIL users can handle these
tasks in one place. Letters can be sent to any group of contacts, either
via print or e-mail. directMAIL also allows FileMaker Pro developers to
easily add a correspondence module to their custom database solutions.
directMAIL is priced at $34 for regular users and $49 for developers. More

CALIFORNIA, April 16, 1999

directMAIL(tm) is a cross-platform, all-in-one contact manager and
mass-mail producer that simplifies direct mail campaigns.

If you want the most powerful, easy to use mass mail generator available,
directMAIL is for you! Store thousands of names in a simple to use contact
manager, assign the names to any number of editable groups, create and
store as many form letters with merge fields as you like. Then, select a
group of contacts or dynamically find a set of contacts, and with the click
of a button, send a personalized letter or e-mail to all of your chosen
contacts. It's that easy!

Create and save form letters with merge fields, then print or e-mail the
letter to an individual contact or groups of contacts. Contacts can be
assigned to any number of editable groups. New groups may be created as
simply as finding records.

directMAIL is designed to be used as a stand-alone form letter generator
and direct mail tool. Developers can purchase an unlocked version of
directMAIL and incorporate the Mass Mail and/or Contact Manager modules
into their own custom FileMaker Pro solutions.

directMAIL is available both in a stand-alone version that does not
require FileMaker Pro and as a set of FileMaker Pro templates. It is
available both in Macintosh and Windows formats. The end-user version is
US$34. Developers can purchase the fully unlocked version for US$49.
