PRO Labeler 1.11 2
Introduction
============
PRO Labeler is a massive labeling program that let you print the
same label up to 99999 times with multi-columns using 3 different
printer ports, on 3-1/2" x 15/16" mailing labels.
The reason I programmed this program is that I couldn't find a
labeling program that could do what I wanted it to do in the BBS
world. I found one but it's not too easy to use, doesn't support
multi-columns, and only supports one printer port. Since I needed
a program like that, I decided to program one myself. Once I
programmed I decided to sell it as shareware.
Features
- Prints on 3-1/2" x 15/16" labels
- Prints 5 lines x 34 characters on each label
- Multi-Columns (Up to 9 columns)
- Print up to 99999 x columns labels
- Supports 3 different printer ports
- Try to be simple and easy to use
- Uses less than 36K of memory
- Works in Multi-Tasking enviornment
New Feature
- Start printing on any column
Bug Fix
- Fix the multi-column printing bug in version 1.00
PRO Labeler 1.11 3
System Requirements
===================
PRO Labeler requires an IBM or compatible computer running DOS 2.0
or higher, a drive to run the program off, and it requires around
36K of memory. It also needs an 80 columns display and at least 25
lines with a color graphic or monochrome adapter. PRO Labeler will
also work with 43 or 50 line display on an EGA and VGA display. If
they are used, the bottom half of the screen will just be blank
since it's not needed. Maybe I'll be able to find some use for it
in the future release. Last of all but also the most important is
a printer.
The only file needed to run PRO Labeler is the program PROLB111.EXE
(unregistered version) or PL111.exe (registered version). The
unregistered version is fully featured and exactly the same as the
registered version. Of course the serial number is different.

Getting Started
===============
Installing the program on hard disk
-----------------------------------
The only program required for running PRO Labeler is PROLB111.EXE
so you probably won't want to make a new directory just for it. Of
course if you want to keep your hard disk organized you should
create a directory and put all files contained in PRO Labeler disk
and archive into it.
Running the program
-------------------
To run the program just type PROLB111. There are no command line
options in this release of PRO Labeler. You shouldn't get any error
messages and you should see the PRO Labeler main screen.
Tring things out
----------------
To get familiar with the program easier you should try pressing the
key displayed in front the option and tring it out. The options are
very easy to figure out. By the time you try them out you probably
won't need the manual anymore. But I'll tell you what each of them
do later in the manual anyways.

List). When it asks for a path simply enter the path where PRO
Labeler is. Enter PRO Labeler 1.11 as the Program Name. Use PL as
the key to open the window or choose some other keys if you want.
Memory size is around 36K but I found that it works with 1K (If not
try something else). Then type PROLB111 or PL111 (if you have a
registered version) in the program field, leave the parameters
blank and just leave the directory if it's correct. Next input the
fields as follow:
Writes text directly to screen.......: [Y]
Displays graphics information........: [N]
Virtualize text/graphics (Y,N,T).....: [Y]
Uses serial ports (Y,N,1,2)..........: [N]
Requires floppy diskette.............: [N]
When you go to the advanced option menu leave the maximum height at
25 and width at 80 since it doesn't take advantage of the 43 or 50
line mode on EGA or VGA display. The rest of the option is up to
you but PRO Labeler does not use Expanded memory, math coprocessor,
and I don't think you need any protection on it. You should use
it's own color since PRO Labeler supports color. If these
configurations doesn't work for you than you should try some other
configurations.

Setting up PRO Labeler in Microsoft Windows 286
===============================================
To set up PRO Labeler in Microsoft Windows 286 you need to run the
program PIFEDIT.EXE in Windows. Personally I have never used
Windows 386 so I don't know if this applies to Windows 386 or not.
Enter either PROLB111.EXE or PL111.EXE (depend on which ever
version you have) under Program Name. Then enter PRO Labeler 1.11
in the Program Title entry space. Leave the Program Parameters
blank, we will not need it in this version. Initial Directory is
where you enter the directory where the PRO Labeler program file
is. KB Required is 5 and KB Desired is also 5 (I have found 5K to
work, if not try something else. The program might take less
memory, if you want to try lower numbers go ahead. Leave the
Directly Modifies at screen since it doesn't modify anything else.
Then keep the Program Switch and Screen Exchange at Text. You could
go ahead and select Close on exit but it don't really matter. When
you are done, save it as PROLB111.PIF or PL111.PIF depending on if
your version is registered or not.
PRO Labeler 1.11 10
Setting up PRO Labeler in Microsoft Windows 3.0
===============================================
To set up PRO Labeler in Microsoft Windows 3.0 you need to run the
program PIFEDIT.EXE in Windows. Enter either PROLB111.EXE or
PL111.EXE (depend on which ever version you have) under Program
Filename. Then enter PRO Labeler 1.11 in the Window Title entry
space. Leave the Optional Parameters blank, we will not need it in
this version. Start-up Directory is where you enter the directory
where PRO Labeler resides is. KB Required is 36 and KB Desired is
also 36. The program might take less memory, if you want to try
lower numbers go ahead. Display Usage could be Windowed or Full
Screen, depend on your preference. You probably would want to set
Execution to Background so you could print while working on
something else. You could go ahead and select Close on exit but it
don't really matter. You could go to the advanced menu, but you
don't need to change anything in there. When you are done, save it
as PROLB111.PIF or PL111.PIF depending on if yours is registered or
not. If you would like, you could add PRO Labeler to the
Non-windows application group. Refer to your Windows 3.0 manual if
do.
I have included PROLB111.PIF file in the archive for use with
Windows 3.0. There is also a file called PROLB111.ICO; it's the
icon file for Windows 3.0. When you put PRO Labeler in a group, you
could specify that file for icon.
