For the individual letter I have a command
/net/campbell/13/wilkins/pismo/texs/vilosutexto which you may make an alias. It will not move in my lifetime. But since it specialized to me, you may want to put a copy in some directory of yours and have it point to a revised version of the form.
/net/campbell/13/wilkins/pismo/bin/FORMS/OSULETTER/newltr.texNote that you can include two email addresses, phone and fax.
To send a standard letter to multiple addresses, appln.tex (say)
--------------- appln.tex ---------------- \body I write to apply for \position at \place. %% rest of tex \closing Sincerely yours, Jeongnim Kim \endletter -------------------------------------
Then create a list of addresses as follows:
------------- appln_list.tex (say) ----------------------
\input /net/campbell/13/wilkins/pismo/bin/FORMS/OSULETTER/newltr.tex
%% \day = 4 \month =1 \year = 1999 %% first composed
\day = 30 \month = 11 \year = 1999 %% for more recent date.

To make the letters, type
`tex appln_form'and print with
`dvips appln_form.'
Finally when you wish to send additional letters, put the new addressee info at the top of this file and move \end up to top at the new addressees. Then you will have a permanent record of when you sent the letters and to whom.
