- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- Welcome to Q_LABELS v2.0. Sure there are a lot of label programs out
- there but not all of them are alike. We have tried to bring you one of
- the finest. Seeing is believing. Q_LABELS was designed to be easy to
- use and still have many powerful features. If your need is home use or
- you are running a small business, this program will work for you. If
- all you need is labels for tapes, cans, books, etc. or if you need a
- powerfull mailing label program that prints U.S.P.S. approved Postnet
- Barcodes, then this is for you. Use the "INSTALL" program to install
- to your hard drive. You can print the complete manual if you want but
- the on line help is very complete. In most cases simply press F1 for
- help. Create as many databases as you need, each can hold over a
- million records. Some of Q_LABELS many features are pull down menus,
- mouse support, contact sensitive help, prints labels, index cards,
- envelopes, and post cards. Use one of the pre-defined label sizes or
- use the free form design feature to create your own sizes.
-
- Quite detailed documentation is included in the package, but it is in
- archived form, and is more easily read after installation.
-
- This evaluation version includes all the major features of the program,
- and is not crippled in any way. You may use it for up to 30 days,
- without charge If you like the program, and wish to continue its use
- after this evaluation period, you are required to pay for the program.
- Any fee you may have paid to others (disk vendors, dealers, etc.) to
- obtain this evaluation version was a fee for their copying and
- distribution services, rather than a payment for continued use of the
- program.
-
- You can choose to print the manual (QLABELS.TXT) using the included
- utility "PRINTMAN.EXE" or simply copy QLABELS.TXT to your printer.
-
- To use the printman utility type: PRINTMAN (press the ENTER key)
-
- To copy to your printer use the DOS command: COPY QLABELS.TXT PRN
- or COPY QLABELS.TXT LPT1
-
- A utility is also included for printing an order form. The order form
- is a file named (ORDER.TXT). Use the utility by typing it's name
- ORDER (press enter) and fill in the blanks. Use one of the above DOS
- commands to print an order form, substituting the name "ORDER.TXT".
-
- I want to hear from you. If after using Q_LABELS you find you would like
- to see more or different features in later versions, write to me and let
- me know. All suggestions will be given serious consideration.

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The newest CD should contain it's own installation procedure. If it
- does then you may not need to use the included install program. I have
- instructed the new CD install program to use the temporary directory
- name of "TMPDIR" to install to. Once the CD rom installation utility
- extracts the program for you you can follow the instructions below and
- use the install program to copy only the Q_LABELS files to a new
- directory. If your CONFIG.SYS file contains the line FILES=20 you can
- have the CD installation program install to any new directory of your
- choice (I recommend the directory name "QLABELS"). Make sure you have
- the FILES=20 (or any number higher) in your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- ******
-
- The installation procedure for Q_LABELS is quite simple. The package
- includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire process.
- You will need about 750K of available disk space on the hard drive on
- which you plan to install Q_LABELS.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received
- Q_LABELS.
-
- If you received the package in a "zip" file (QL20.ZIP) you will have to
- unzip the files before you can use the install program.
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from a diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place Q_LABELS distribution diskette in the appropriate
- diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
- the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Q_LABELS files to that directory.If you so direct it, the
- installation program will install executable programs and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will
- make no other changes; specifically, it will not modify your
- autoexec.bat or config.sys files without your permission.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded Q_LABELS from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file(s) in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the Q_LABELS package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
- command, "c:\tempdir\install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the Q_LABELS files to that directory. If you so direct it, the
- installation program will install then executable program and
- documentation in other directories of your choice. It will make no
- other changes; specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat
- or config.sys files without permission.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed Q_LABELS
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the document
- (QLABELS.TXT) which has been installed. In particular, read at least
- the first few sections of the file "QLABELS.TXT". That document will
- tell you how to invoke the program, and will give you other information
- you need to properly evaluate Q_LABELS. We hope you enjoy the program.
