PrLabel

Version 1.1 17.01.92

PrLabel is shareware with a suggested donation of £5.00.
The interface is created using STSLib, a library of 3D
gadget building and menu routines available from SciTech
Software for £20.00.
PrLabel is a utility to print labels on laser printer label sheets.
Three patterns of labels are supported: 3x8, 2x8 and 2x7, defaulting to the
3x8 format.
Running the Program
===================
From the CLI, the program is invoked with:
PrLabel [-38][-28][-27]
where -38 is the same as the default and -28 and -27 select the 2x8 and 2x7
formats respectively.
From the Workbench, the Icon tooltype may be set to one of:
FORMAT=38
FORMAT=28
FORMAT=27
where FORMAT=38 is the same as the default and FORMAT=28 and FORMAT=27
select the 2x8 and 2x7 formats respectively. To alter the icon's tooltype,
select the icon with a single click, then choose the Info item from the
Workbench's menu.
The PrLabel Window
==================
If, when you run PrLabel, you obtain a message saying BuildBoolGadget()
needs a larger window, then you should select a smaller Screen Text font
(this applies only to AmigaDOS V2.0).
When PrLabel starts, a window is opened on the Workbench screen. The window
contains:
o A group of gadgets on the left in the format specified.
o Seven text gadgets
o Three gadgets labelled NEXT, PREV and KILL
o One gadget labelled PRINT!
The first of the text gadgets will be activated and will allow you to enter
text. When you press RETURN, the next text gadget will be activated
allowing you to enter an address without having to touch the mouse.
If you have entered a single address, you can select the label position at
which it will be printed by clicking the relevent label on the format group.
Clicking the gadget again will deactivate it. If you select more than one
label position, the label will be printed at all the selected positions.
By clicking the NEXT gadget, the text gadgets will be cleared allowing you
to enter a second address. You can repeat this process as many times as you
desire. The addresses will be printed in the order you entered them, but
they will only be printed at the currently selected label positions. Thus
some of the addresses may not be printed. The addresses will be printed in
order running down (rather than across) the label positions.
When multiple addresses have been entered, each will be printed only once
even if the number of label positions selected exceeds the number of
addresses entered.
The PREV gadget will allow to to step back through the adresses and correct
mistakes while the KILL gadget will delete the currently displayed address.
If KILL has no effect, it is because there is only one address left.
Finally PRINT! will cause the labels to be printed.
Menus
=====
PrLabel has only a Project menu with the items:
o About
o Quit
The About item displays information about the program.
The Quit item (or the window's close gadget) exits the program.
