- Simply Labels III
-
-
- Simply Labels version III is a complete rewrite with many
- improvements and new features. The first difference you may
- notice is that the program is now in an EXE format and is much
- larger. This is due to many new features and partly due to the
- new compiler used.
-
- Because of the many changes in this version, the file format has
- been changed. To use data files created with version 2.xx they
- must first be converted. A utility has been included to do this
- for you. See appendix B in the main manual for instructions on
- how to convert your files.
