TORONTO. February 23, 2000. What started off as a routine maintenance
release of Galleon Software's powerful e-mail merge application has ended
up with improvements sure to please anyone with a large customer database.

eMerge already allowed you to easily import information from your database
files or the mailing lists of every major Macintosh e-mail client and list
server. But with eMerge 1.6.2 the data now comes in more than three times
faster. And exports are more than eleven times faster, so there's less time
to wait when you want to process a batch of new customers or build a list
of bounced e-mail addresses.

eMerge 1.6.2 also gives you greater control over duplicate addresses and
now allows you to send individual messages to people who share the same
e-mail address. You can override automatic duplicate detection and manually
filter duplicates by address or customer name.

And with improved PPP connectivity, eMerge is simply the fastest and most
reliable way to send customized e-mail to your mailing lists. It goes
directly to your customers, bypassing your mail server, and over as many
connections as your computer can handle.

You can purchase eMerge 1.6.2 right now from Galleon Software's website for
$99.00 US:

Everything works as it does with the eMerge you buy and comes with complete
documentation and a collection of sample campaigns to get you started right
away.

including eMerge, Data Dredger, and MacTicker.
