Impact 3.43 and ImpEmail 1.03 released

[Matthew Phillips]

A new version of Impact, and the accompanying e-mail mail-merge software
ImpEmail, is now available from the Sine Nomine Software web site:

http://sinenomine.co.uk/software/impact/

There is a free download available for all registered users of Impact 3.41 or
above.

The update to Impact, the relational database, incorporates various bug
fixes and minor enhancements, including a new version of the Impulse module
which does not immobilise Impression.

ImpEmail, which can generate e-mails based on data from Impact, has been
enhanced to introduce HTML e-mail generation to RISC OS for what we think is
the first time. And unlike some software on other platforms, there is
actually a good excuse for this.

As well as single fields, Impact can send whole tables of data through to
ImpEmail for inclusion in messages. ImpEmail makes a very good job of
displaying tables as plain text, including handling multi-line text fields
and correctly aligning columns of numbers, but if there are too many columns
to display, the resulting message will inevitably be hard to follow.

Most email software on other platforms can display HTML (the mark-up language
which is used for building web pages). If ImpEmail detects that a table has
been merged into the message, then as well as building a plain text version
of the email, an HTML version will be included, which will tend to display
better. You can turn this off via the Choices window.

A demo version of the software is available from the website, together with
the complete 198-page manual, so do drop by and try it for yourself. The
full version is available for a new low price of just £40.
