P1-01: Utilities and Applications
-----------------------------
#27838/0201 Disk DIR Printers Small Programs Disk
-----------------------------
DaLabeler 3.2 (DALABLR)
Neal, Robert
$10
lets you print a disk directory listing on labels, including up to five lines of
comments. The program is menu-driven and very slick looking. It can handle up to
66 file names on a label; edit the list of file names before printing the label
and you can override the volume label. It supports 4"x1.5" labels in addition to
3.5"x15/16". The printer configuration file comes set up for Epsons, but can be
easily modified to work with most printers.
DirP
Fisher, Stanley
$0
may be the first "sorted directory on a label" utility that will fit on 3.5"
disks. We like the ease with which this works: it reads the current
directory and treats any text on the DOS command line as a heading line for
the label.
DiskOver 4.6 (DISKOVR)
Caleb Computer Consultants
$20
prints an insert for a disk cover listing the files on the disk, including the
contents of ARC, ZIP and LBR files.
Disk Label Maker 1.31 (DSKLABL)
Hwang, Eric & Associates
$15
is a disk directory label printing utility. It can read standard and high
capacity disks and supports the two most popular label sizes.
FolDIR
Patton, Gavin S.
$10
will print a directory listing for a diskette on paper so that it can be
folded to form a disk sleeve. FolDIR will print sleeves for 5.25" or 3.5"
disks.
MiLabel 2.0
Haro, John M.
$10
reads a disk's directory and prints it on a label of almost any size that will
fit on a disk - seven sizes in all. Optionally, you use it to print notes
without reading the disk directory. You can also select file names NOT to be
printed. The only drawback is its long, annoying "shareware" screen. (Not on
this disk. Ask for disk #8599.)
NewLabel
is a disk directory label printing program. Those who program in BASIC can
customize this one. (Not on this Disk. Ask for disk #8019.)
Printed Disk Directory (PDD)
Gilbert, Raymond A.
$0
is a utility to print a sorted directory listing in such a format as to allow
the listing to be cut and inserted into the sleeve with the diskette.
Assembler source included. Program formerly known as "Cover".
PLabel
prints labels for diskettes on standard 3 1/2" x 15/16" mailing labels. It
prints the volume label, diskette, today's date, and more. Depending on the
number of files on the diskette, it may print just the file names, file names
and extensions, or file names, extensions and file size.
PssLbl 1.1a
Scott, Kevin A.
$25
is a menu driven diskette label printing utility, written entirely in
assembler. It allows you to print labels of just about any size on just about
any printer. You can have the filenames sorted before they are printed. You
can specify numerous options that control such features as the size of the
disk name when printed, whether leading zeros should be suppressed, whether
trailing blanks should be suppressed when the filenames are printed. Virtual
every print feature of the labels can be customized.
VolTag 2.13
Contech Systems
$10
is an application for printing informative, eye-pleasing labels for 3.5"
diskettes. It graphically displays the amount of free space left on each
diskette; it offers full Mouse support; up to 63 file names can be displayed
on each label; and either the diskette title or the volume label (your choice)
is printed along the "spine" of the label for easy identification of boxed or
stacked diskettes. Requires DOS 3+ and an IBM Graphics printer or compatible.

END OF SMALL PROGRAMS DISK #0201
--------------------------------
MasDIR
Stephan, Bob
$20
#27838/1140
combines directory sorting, disk label printing and disk cover programs. It
offers five ways to sort file names, four printing options without changing
printer settings, and listing directory files in 2, 4, and 6 columns.
Disklist 3.0 [DISKLIST]
Gulf Sierra ASP
$25
#27838/3318 (02-94 CD)
prints disk sleeve inserts showing directory contents. It works
particularly well on laser printers, including the ability to download
users' soft fonts. It provides 33 formats that print from one to six
columns of file names with options to include date, time and file size.
It can print a border around a list to be cut out, or omit the border
for labels. It can list the files inside most archive formats. Other
features include support for Ink Jet printers and Windows.
DiskMailer 1.1
Bryan E. Taylor
$20
#27838/4436
creates floppy disk mailers and sleeves. A built-in editor is included to modify
the information to be printed on the mailer. Output can be previewed on screen.

7051/0689 Banners/Signs Small Programs Disk
-----------------------
Alphabet (ALPHABT)
contains a file for each letter, A-Z. Each file contains a full-page
representation of the letter (turned sideways) so that by sending a string of
these letter-files to the printer, you can make a banner.
Bannerific 2.1 (BANNRIF)
Mission Technologies
$17
lets you produce large banners on your printer. All IBM PC keyboard characters
may be used. The size of the characters produced on the printer is variable, and
may be as large as the width of your computer paper. You can make vertical as
well as horizontal banners on any printer. You can choose the height and width
of each letter, so you can make banners many sizes. Get some neon colored banner
paper from PsL Retail Products and give this a try. Banner paper is unperforated
so that your banners do not pull apart.
BigLetters (BIGLET)
Hoffmann, Robert
$0
prints out text in big letters formed with ASCII block characters. Output can
go to the screen or a file. It doesn't have the font capabilities of BigText,
but is easier to use.
Big-Text 1.6 (BIG-TXT)
Ford, Nelson, ASP
$15
prints text using large fonts created by combinations of characters from the
IBM character set. Big-Text can be used for making signs, posters, name tags,
etc. Several font files come with Big-Text, including a 6-line by 6-space
character font created with IBM block characters and one created with IBM
line-drawing characters. At normal printer settings, these fonts will print
out one inch high. Instructions are included for creating your own fonts of
from two to 20 printer lines high. Font files can be changed from within the
text file.
DM-Banner 2.1 (DMBANNR)
Morgan, Dwight
$10
prints large banners. One of the interesting features of this banner maker is
that you can specify a line of text to be used in creating the letters instead
of just a single letter. The author is no longer at the address provided in
the documentation.
Large
Nopper, Bruce A.
$25
is for the visually handicapped. This program reads a text file of up to 64K
and displays it in characters that are four screen lines high. You can page
up and down and jump to the beginning and end of the file. Unfortunately, the
program doesn't do word-wrap, so words are split wherever the end of the
screen happens to hit, making reading somewhat difficult. The user can
optionally print the file on an Epson compatible printer at 40 characters per
line. Users interested in this should also see BIGECHO and BIGTEXT, already
in the library.
Lincomatic Banner Maker (LINCBAN)
Lin, Sam
$0
will allow you to make fancy signs which can be printed on any printer.
Unlike some other sign-maker programs, you can choose among many different
fonts (KSET's) or even create your own.
Poster
will make a poster with large letters. You can use your current settings or
change printer settings to meet your specifications. Easy to use.
QDBanner (QDBANNR)
is a Quick and Dirty banner maker consisting of a separate text file for
each character. Each text file consists of a large representation of the
character turned on its side so that when printed one after the othe
