  characters, each composed of a name, three address lines,
  city/town, state/country, zip code, two separate
  identifiers, a counter, a comment and up to six
  user-defined categories.

  for each mailing list.
. Each mailing list can have associated sublists.
. Each mailing list can be set up differently.
 
Major Functions:
 
. Update - mailing lists can be created and maintained by
  adding, removing, and changing individual address entries.
. Display - any or all addresses, category definitions, or
  sublist definitions can be displayed on a video screen.
. Listings - full addresses, category definitions, and
  sublist definitions can be printed (or written to a disk
  file).
. Labels - any mailing list or sublist can be printed on a
  variety of labels.

  Corporation word processing systems to produce
  personalized letters.

  labels.
