- This program is a convenient address label printing utility originally written
- in ST Basic, AND NOW COMPILED USING version 1.0 OF THE LDW BASIC COMPILER. It
- makes use of GEM alert boxes (to make program selections), and some
- text-graphics...just for the fun of it.
-
- The program will create a file called labelprt.dat to store up to 100 of
- your addresses. It will add new entries to labelprt.dat if it already
- exists. There is , at present, no deleting or editing of entered
- addresses. Care should be exercised when typing unless you want to erase
- the file and start over.
-
- Five lines are allowed per address. The program is optimized for 4" long
- labels, 15/16" high, spaced 1" from top to top, however provision has
- been made for other sizes as well. The two main output forms are
- called MAIL and RETURN ADDRESS labels and can be about 30 characters
- long per line IF you plan on using any particular address in either size
- label. The MAIL labels use pica, 10 char/inch and the RETURN ADDRESS
- labels will print TWICE on a 4" label using condensed at 17cpi. You could
- enter a MAIL label up to 39 or 40 characters, but that entry could not
- then be used in the smaller size print. To meet this need, and that of
- people using 3 or 3 1/2" long labels the SPECIAL mode was added. This
- also prints in condensed but only once per label. You can enter as many
- characters as will fit on whatever size label you own. Guide marks are
- included in the input prompt at 30, 42 & 50 characters per line to help you
- not overrun the edges of your labels.
-
- The program is written for a Star-Micronics SG10 but should work on
- any Epson compatible. The following decimal print codes are used:
- re-initialize printer 27 64
- disable out of paper detector 27 56
- condensed (17 cpi) 15 double strike-on 27 71
- pica (10 cpi) 18 double strike-off 27 72
