Version 3.0
ENVELOPE PRINTING ON THE DESKJET PRINTER
DJ-LOPE is a program designed to print envelopes on the Deskjet family of
printers. With it you can keep up to 250 names and addresses in each of
multiple databases which can be printed, displayed on the screen, and
searched.
System Requirements: IBM PC, XT, AT or compatible computer
DOS 3.0 or greater
One floppy disk drive (hard disk optional)
DeskJet, DeskJet+, Deskjet 500 or Deskjet 500C printer
Packing List: Files included are DJLOPE.EXE, DJLOPE.ICO and
README.DJL (this file)
WHAT'S NEW! in Version 3.0 ==>> * Multiple database support
* Return Address Print/No Print Toggle
* Print Return Address Normal or Smaller
* Multiple printer port option
DJ-LOPE can be run from a floppy disk or a hard disk. Three files will be
created by the program: DJLOPE.CFG, RETADDR.FIL and ADDRESS.LST. These will
be created in the directory containing the DJLOPE.EXE file.
To run the program from a floppy disk, place the disk containing the
DJLOPE.EXE file in Drive A or Drive B, log on to that drive, and type DJLOPE
at the DOS prompt.
To run the program from a hard disk, first make a subdirectory on your
hard disk called DJLOPE by typing MD DJLOPE at your C:\> prompt. Then,
copy the file DJLOPE.EXE to the DJLOPE subdirectory on your hard disk.
DJLOPE will also run as a DOS application in Windows 3.x. Follow the
Windows instructions for adding a DOS application. An Icon file
(DJLOPE.ICO) is included in this archive.
To load the program, log on to the drive and directory containing the
DJLOPE.EXE file and type DJLOPE on the command line. The program will load
into memory and display the Main Menu on your screen:

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it.
If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to
register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration
while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the
software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated
below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial
authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example,
some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may
copy their Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you
can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.
Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT
Users of DJ-LOPE must accept this disclaimer of warranty: "DJ-LOPE is
supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied,
including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of
fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct
or consequential, which may result from the use of DJ-LOPE."
DJ-LOPE is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user
for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not
give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-
supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality
software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find
that you are using DJ-LOPE and continue to use DJ-LOPE after a reasonable
trial period, you must make a registration payment of $14.95 to Jerry M.
Johnson. The $14.95 registration fee will license one copy for use on any
one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book.
An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and
may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being
used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons
at the same time.
Commercial users of DJ-LOPE must register and pay for their copies of
DJ-LOPE within 30 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-
License arrangements may be made by contacting Jerry M. Johnson.
Anyone distributing DJ-LOPE for any kind of remuneration must first contact
Jerry M. Johnson at the address below for authorization. This authorization
will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the Association
of Shareware Professionals as adhering to its guidelines for shareware
distributors, and such distributors may begin offering DJ-LOPE immediately
(However Jerry M. Johnson must still be advised so that the distributor
can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of DJ-LOPE.).
You are encouraged to pass a copy of DJ-LOPE along to your friends for
evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that
they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest
version of the DJ-LOPE system, and will be notified of future enhancements.
Jerry M. Johnson is a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals
(ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you.
If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member
by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman
can help you resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but does not
provide technical support for members' products. Please write to the ASP
Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.

Additional DeskJet utility programs you will find useful:
DJCHECK - A check printing program for the Deskjet family. Print checks
(personal or business size), keeps a record on disk of checks
you print, fully configurable for perfect printing placement on
any size check. Shareware. Available on HPPER Library 5 of
CompuServe as DJCHEK.ZIP, or from the author.
DJSLEEVE- A program designed to print storage sleeves for floppy disks.
Just slip a floppy (3 1/2" or 5 1/4") in Drive A or B, and your
printer will produce a sleeve template containing all the file
names, dates, and sizes in the root directory of your floppy.
Just cut out and tape the flaps, and you have a neat storage
sleeve without the hassle of writing many tiny filenames on a
disk label. Available on HPPER Library 5 of CompuServe as
SLEEVE.ZIP, or from the author.
