What's
New in A-Ware 2000 for Shareware
Authors V2.00?
Ver
2.0 7/30/2004
 New
Feature. In the Setup tab, Program Maintenance
section, you can now tie up to 4 additional
custom e-mails to a program. So in addition
to sending a standard key e-mail when
a customer registers, you can also send
up to 4 additional promotional e-mails,
etc.
New
Feature: In the Setup tab, Program Maintenance
section, you can now set a new column
called "Free Upgrade". For example,
say you are on version 3.5, and you now
want to give a free upgrade to version
4 for any new customers who purchase now,
then you would set this switch. Any new
customers created and set for the program
with a free upgrade checked, will have
one free upgrade. This will mean that
when you release a new major version number,
you can right-click on the program in
program maintanence, and anyone with a
free ugprade will automatically have their
version set to the new version and a new
key generated. The free upgrade will then
be reset to no. Then all you have to do
is send a mass emailing to all customers
where the version number matches the new
release.
New
Feature: Bulk Email Wizard. This feature
allows you to do a one-shot e-mailing.
You can either browse to a text file containing
a list of e-mail addresses separated by
a ';' or copy e-mail addresses from a
CC or BCC to the windows clipboard, and
then paste into the e-mail wizard. To
use this feature, click on Tools, Bulk
Email Wizard.
New
Feature: A CC Email address can now be
set for your customers. If you need more
than one CC address, enter them all in
the CC Email on the customer tab and separate
with the ';' character. Now any correspondence
with a customer with a CC address will
result in multiple e-mails being sent.
You can put more than one CC address in
the CC Email field on the customer tab
by separating them with a ';' character.
Added
"Program Interested In" field
to the prospects tab.
When
mass e-mailing, program will now e-mail
to prospects, if selected, where the program
matches. This will allow you to track
prospects and setup a "join e-mail
list" on your website by program.
On
the mass e-mailing tab, there is now an
"Equal to" and "Not Equal
To" selection by the version number.
This will not be saved with your custom
mail definition, and will always be set
to Equal to, unless you change it. To
use this, if you had a program that is
on version 5, and you wanted to e-mail
all customers not on version 5, you can
now do this. Additionally, there is a
check box called "Do Not Send, preview
# of matches", this can be checked
to preview how many e-mails would be sent,
without actually sending the messages.
Fixed
Paste e-mail function. Previously, if
you pasted a range of fields into one
comment field, it would truncate the paste
after the enter key was encountered. Now
it will grab all the text between 2 fields
even if enter keys are present. Fixed
problem on prospect screen where you could
not use the paste e-mail function to save
to the comments field.
You
can now edit your paste e-mail definition
to include the distributor / referrer
field. If a new referrer is encountered,
it will be added automatically. Works
on the customer and prospect tab.
You
can now edit your paste e-mail definition
to include the program name. If a new
program is encountered, it will be added
automatically. Works on the prospect tab
only, as on the customer screen, the program
is saved with new keys.
Added
automated backing up of your customer
database. Backups will occur once per
day on exit of A-Ware 2000 and will be
stored in c:\program files\a-ware 2000\Backup\,
or in the folder where your customers.mdb
file is stored. 7 Backups will be stored,
the files will be named "Customers-"
then the day of the week number.
Ver 1.80
Fixed Prospect Importing and added ProsTemplate.xls
for importing prospects.
