New - Peloton WinLabel 1.1x
This release of Peloton WinLabel has several enhancements that are not documented in the
manual.
Added merge file importing capabilities
Now supports several data base formats. dBase III, dBase IV, Paradox 3.x, Fox Pro 2.0, Fox Pro
2.5, and Microsoft Access 1.0 & 1.1.
ASCII & WordPerfect 5.1 merge file importing still supported.
Added image file importing
Now supports BMP, PCX, TIF, GIF, DIB, & TGA.
Some of these images will appear dark or black on your screen (depending on your system
setup), however they should all print with dithered grey scales (depending on your printer
settings).
Page Size Settings
WinLabel now supports various page sizes including Letter, Legal, A4, and Custom sizes set in
the Page Setup dialog of the Sheet Setup window.
Installation & System Requirement Notes
WinLabel now has two program disks (3-1/2" HD 1.44MB). The system requirements are approx
3MB of hard disk space (due primarily to the added data base importing routines). Some of the
data base files may already be on your system (they are Microsoft DLL's that reside in your
Windows\System directory). The WinLabel setup will only replace older versions of common
DLL's.
Data Base Support Files
If you have a lite or demo version of Peloton WinLabel, the data base files are not installed by the
setup. WinLabel will work properly except Paradox, Access, dBase, & FoxPro data base merge's
will produce an error (ie.."vbdb300.dll not found"). You can download these files from the
MSBASIC forum on CompuServe. They are in vbdbdl.zip.
Installation Trouble Notes
The following problems have been recorded during WinLabel setup or when WinLabel is run.
1. Missing or old version of a VBX or DLL file. WinLabel will install the latest version of common
DLL's in your windows\system directory. All common DLL's should reside in your windows\system
directory not the windows directory.
2. Setup doesn't work because it couldn't write to the windows/system directory. The first part of
WinLabel's setup is from Microsoft. It requires read/write access to certain windows/system files.
If you are installing on a network and the windows/system directory is read only, WinLabel setup
will not work. Have a network administrator give WinLabel full network rights and retry setup.
