- OVERVIEW
-
-
-
- Quick-Zip is a database program dedicated to printing bar codes
-
- known as POSTNET. These codes can be read for sorting purposes by the
-
- United States Postal Service, and if you utilize bulk mailings there
-
- are discounts available for their use.
-
-
-
-
-
- NOTICE: The unregistered copy of Quick-Zip will allow a maximum
-
- of seventy-five entries. Upon registering Quick-Zip, you will receive
-
- the registered copy that will allow as many entries as possible within
-
- your computer's base environment. On a 640k computer you can have
-
- approximately 3500 entries.

-
- --Hardware Requirements
-
-
-
- Quick-Zip supports both color and monochrome systems. It will
-
- automatically detect which type is present, but may be manually
-
- overridden if necessary. The more base system memory you have, the
-
- better. On a typical 640k system, you can have approximately 3500
-
- entries at one time. An Epson compatible 24-pin or 9-pin printer is
-
- needed to print the bar codes, and the program was designed using an
-
- Epson Action Printer 4000 (24-pin). It has been tested on various
-
- Epson and Epson compatible printers.
-
-
-
-
-
- --Installation
-
-
-
- Quick-Zip must reside in the same directory as its support files.
-
- If the support files are not found upon execution, they will be
-
- created with default values. It is recommended that you create a
-
- directory for Quick-Zip, and check to see if the following files are
-
- present:
-
- QZIP.EXE
- QZIP.CFG
- QZIPDOC.TXT
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

-
-
- --Execution
-
-
-
- To execute Quick-Zip you must specify a command line parameter(s)
-
- and a filename when needed. If you should specify the wrong options,
-
- a quick reference screen will be displayed. This screen is not meant
-
- to take the place of the written documentation, but is intended to
-
- aide in the execution of Quick-Zip. For example, to load the file
-
- MAIL.QZP for editing, printing, etc. you would enter QZIP L MAIL.QZP
-
- at the DOS prompt. More help can be found under COMMAND LINE
-
- PARAMETERS.

- --Summary
-
- Usage: QZIP <command> [-<sw> [-<sw>...]] [<file_name>]
-
-
-
- When executing Quick-Zip you must specify a command line
-
- parameter; however, the switches are optional. A filename is not
-
- always required, but not including one when needed will generate an
-
- error message. The usage line above shows that you can only specify
-
- one command, but you may specify any number of switches. The
-
- following is a list of commands and switches:
-
- <commands>
-
- c: convert comma delimited text file to Quick-Zip data file
-
- e: convert Quick-Zip data file to comma delimited text file
-
- h: the quick reference screen
-
- l: load or create a file for printing, editing, etc.
-
- p: convert text file formatted as mailing labels to Quick-Zip data
-
- file, starting with the first line of each label
-
- q: convert text file formatted as mailing labels to Quick-Zip data
-
- file, ignoring the first line of each label
-
- r: list registered company or person(s) and version information
-
- s: setup screen
-
- <switches>
-
- d: debug mode/extra information
-
- c: force color mode
-
- m: force monochrome mode

-
- COMMANDS
-
-
-
- --Setup
-
- command - s
-
- The 's' command does not require a filename.
-
-
-
- This command instructs Quick-Zip to enter the setup screen and
-
- create the configuration file in the current directory. Also, if no
-
- configuration file can be found upon execution, you will be taken to
-
- the setup screen automatically. In the setup mode you can toggle
-
- options by pressing the appropriate key. The following list defines
-
- each key along with the options it selects:
-
- 'A' - Print method/position
-
- Label for address block area
-
- Label for bar code clear zone
-
- Legal size envelope
-
- Postcard
-
- 'B' - Print in ascending order by
-
- Zip Code
-
- Last Name
-
- 'C' - Printer type/quality
-
- Epson 9-pin; Emphasized
-
- Epson 9-pin; Normal
-
- Epson 24-pin; Letter Quality
-
- Epson 24-pin; Draft
-
- 'D' - Return address
-
- You will be prompted for your:
-
- Name
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Quick-Zip v2.1 Page 7
-
-
- Address Line 1
-
- Address Line 2
-
- City
-
- State
-
- Zip
-
- 'X' - Exit
-
- Will save the configuration and take you back to DOS.
-
-
-
- The return address is only printed on envelopes and postcards.
-
- If you do not wish to have a return address printed, press 'D' during
-
- configuration and hit enter when asked for the information.
-
-
-
-
-
- --Loading/Creating
-
- command - l
-
- The 'l' command requires a filename.
-
-
-
- This tells Quick-Zip that a file will be read or created. If the
-
- file is not found, you will be asked if you wish to create it. To
-
- load or create the file MAIL.QZP, enter QZIP L MAIL.QZP at the DOS
-
- prompt. Since you can use any valid path and filename allowed in DOS,
-
- your data file does not have to be located in the working directory.
-
- For example, if MAIL.QZP was located in the directory DATA on drive C:
-
- and QZIP was in a different location, you would enter
-
- QZIP L C:\DATA\MAIL.QZP to load the file.

-
-
- --Help Screen/Quick Reference
-
- command - h
-
- The 'h' command does not require a filename.
-
-
-
- It instructs Quick-Zip to display the quick reference screen.
-
- This screen shows the version, usage, and a list of the commands and
-
- switches along with a short summary. This screen is also displayed if
-
- you incorrectly use the command line parameters.
-
-
-
-
-
- --Memory/Number Of Entries
-
- command - m
-
- The 'm' command does not require a filename.
-
-
-
- Specifying this command tells Quick-Zip to return the maximum
-
- number of entries possible within your environment. This number
-
- depends on how much unfragmented memory is available.
-
-
-
-
-
- --Registration Information
-
- command - r
-
- The 'r' command does not require a filename.
-
-
-
- This command instructs Quick-Zip to display to whom this version
-
- is registered along with version information.

-
-
- --Comma Delimited File To Quick-Zip Data File
-
- command - c
-
- The command 'c' requires a filename.
-
-
-
- This command will direct Quick-Zip to convert a comma delimited
-
- text file to a Quick-Zip data file. The filename must be the name of
-
- the comma delimited text file, including the path if necessary. Since
-
- the resulting Quick-Zip data file will have an extension of QZP, it
-
- cannot be the extension of the comma delimited text file. If you
-
- wanted to convert the comma delimited text file MYLIST.TXT to a
-
- Quick-Zip data file, you would enter QZIP C MYLIST.TXT at the DOS
-
- prompt. The Quick-Zip data file will be automatically named
-
- MYLIST.QZP .
-
-
-
- In the comma delimited text file, the classification field can be
-
- omitted for conversion. If so, it will default to '?' in the
-
- Quick-Zip data file. The following is the structure for the comma
-
- delimited text file:
-
- "FIRST_NAME","LAST_NAME","ADDRESS_LINE_1","ADDRESS_LINE_2","CITY",
-
- "STATE","ZIP_CODE","CLASSIFICATION" <end of line/carriage return>
-
-
-
- Length of each field in Quick-Zip:
-
- FIRST_NAME + LAST_NAME = 30 characters
-
- ADDRESS_LINE_1 = 30 characters
-
- ADDRESS_LINE_2 = 30 characters
-
- CITY = 15 characters
-
- STATE = 2 characters
-
- ZIP_CODE = 10 characters
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Quick-Zip v2.1 Page 10
-
-
- CLASSIFICATION = 1 character
-
-
-
- Example:
-
- "Mr. John A.","Smith","University of USA","5050 Imaginary St",
-
- "Nowhere","US","X"
-
-
-
-
-
- --Quick-Zip Data File To Comma Delimited File
-
- command - e
-
- The command 'e' requires a filename.
-
-
-
- This command will direct Quick-Zip to convert a Quick-Zip data
-
- file to a comma delimited text file. The filename must be the name of
-
- the Quick-Zip data file, including the path if necessary. Because the
-
- comma delimited text file will have an extension of TXT, it cannot be
-
- the extension of the Quick-Zip data file. For example, if you were to
-
- convert the Quick-Zip text file MYLIST.QZP to a comma delimited text
-
- file, you would enter QZIP E MYLIST.QZP at the DOS prompt. The comma
-
- delimited text file will be automatically named MYLIST.TXT .
-
-
-
- The structure of the comma delimited text file can be found under the
-
- documentation for the command 'c'.

-
- --Mailing Label Text File To Quick-Zip Data File; Read First Line
-
- command - p
-
- The command 'p' requires a filename.
-
-
-
- This command will allow Quick-Zip to convert a text file
-
- formatted as mailing labels to a Quick-Zip data file. The filename
-
- must be the name of the text file, including the path if necessary.
-
- Since the resulting Quick-Zip data file will have an extension of QZP,
-
- it cannot be the extension of the text file. To create a text file
-
- formatted as mailing labels, you can print a mailing list from your
-
- database to a file instead of to the printer. Quick-Zip will read the
-
- first line in the file as the information to be converted.
-
-
-
- The following is the structure of a text file formatted as mailing
-
- labels. The first line contains information to be converted:
-
- Line # ->Text File Data
-
-
-
- Line 1 ->John Q. Smith
-
- Line 2 ->1234 Imaginary Ln
-
- Line 3 ->Anywhere US 12345-1234
-
- Line 4 ->
-
- Line 5 ->
-
- Line 6 ->
-
- Line 7 ->Adam A. Jones
-
- Line 8 ->My Company Name
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Quick-Zip v2.1 Page 12
-
-
- Line 12->
-
-
-
- The software will automatically adjust to three and four line
-
- addresses, but each label must occupy six lines in the text file.
-
- Also, the address must be formatted to United States Postal Service
-
- specifications. Mainly, one space between the city and state, and two
-
- spaces between the city and zip code.
-
-
-
-
-
- --Mailing Label Text File To Quick-Zip Data File; Ignore First Line
-
- command - q
-
- The command 'q' requires a filename.
-
-
-
- This command will allow Quick-Zip to convert a text file
-
- formatted as mailing labels to a Quick-Zip data file. The filename
-
- must be the name of the text file, including the path if necessary.
-
- Since the resulting Quick-Zip data file will have an extension of QZP,
-
- it cannot be the extension of the text file. To create a text file
-
- formatted as mailing labels, you can print a mailing list from your
-
- database to a file instead of to the printer. Quick-Zip will ignore
-
- the first line in the file and treat the second line as information to
-
- be converted.
-
-
-
- The following is the structure of a text file formatted as mailing
-
- labels. Quick-Zip starts with second line of each label for reading
-
- information:
-
- Line # ->Text File Data
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-

-
- SWITCHES
-
-
-
- --Debug Mode
-
- Switch - d
-
-
-
- Specifying this switch after most commands will tell Quick-Zip to
-
- display more information. For example, during the loading of a file
-
- you will be shown the amount of memory available, the filename, and
-
- how many entries have been read. If you include this switch during
-
- the conversion of a file, the information will be displayed the way
-
- Quick-Zip interprets it. This can be useful when converting a mailing
-
- list for use with Quick-Zip. This switch is not necessary, but many
-
- may find it helpful.
-
-
-
-
-
- --Force Color Mode
-
- Switch - c
-
-
-
- This switch will instruct Quick-Zip that you have a color card.
-
- It will make Quick-Zip write directly to the color address, even if it
-
- thinks you have a monochrome card.

- --Generating Advanced Bar Code
-
-
-
- This program automatically generates the new Advanced Bar Code
-
- (ABC) wherever possible. This method will be fully utilized in 1993
-
- by the United States Postal Service, and can be printed on mailings
-
- today. To generate this bar code, you must have the ZIP+4 and an
-
- address entered in Quick-Zip, otherwise it will generate a five-digit
-
- bar code. You can check to see which type of bar code will be
-
- generated for an entry by pressing ALT-I for information while viewing
-
- records.
-
- If you use bulk mail, check with your local Post-Office to see
-
- how much you can save by including bar codes on your mailings!
