ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods are provided in which software resident on a user's computer interfaces with software and/or supplemental information resident on a provider's computer via a transmission line to manipulate a batch of data from a plurality of records extracted from a user's mailing list. In a preferred embodiment, the user resident software directs the user's computer to extract data from multiple records within the user's mailing list. The user resident software then batches the extracted information, and transmits it across a transmission line to the provider's computer. The provider's computer then performs mailing list related functions on the batch using the provider resident software and information. The provider's computer then either transmits updated, sorted or otherwise modified data back to the user's computer for reintegration into the user's mailing list, print labels, reports or produce other output at the provider's location, or performs some other function with the data.
