  This script is a donation to the Amiga community, and a
tribute to TWIST and PAGESTREAM, two of my favourite programs.
Feel free to adapt the script.
  In order to adapt this script to your needs, you will have to
do a few things :
- Make sure you change the paths for the two databases, one
  for Clients, one for Products.
- Prepare the lists with a report in TWIST, make it a report
  on a single line, no footer or header, FormFeed (FF) unchecked.
  Do this for each database, CLients and Products.
- Change the lines that point to these lists.
- Read the rest of the comments, it will hopefully help you to
  understand the way the script works, and perhaps help you to adapt it.
At first the script is rather slow, depending on the number of products
and clients present in the databases (resp. 450 and 2300 here), but
once the lists are built, things run rather smooth.
Possible uses are : limited mailmerge, you would like to send the same
letter to several persons in your database, but not all, now you can
select who.
  Personally I use it to make offers to clients, or to write reports on
several clients and stating their addresses so that other people can take
actions without looking up the address.

Feel free to write me for help.
                 Keep the peace, ...and your Amiga !
