- Disk Label Utility
- Version 1.00.00b
-
-
- I have finally completed my first PM program which I promised myself
- when I was first introduced to OS/2. My next goal is to convert this
- program to Windows 3.0 which should not be too hard since the programming
- method is very similar.
-
- This program can be freely distributed if the program is not modified
- in anyway. I am currently working on a future release of this program, and
- too help make this program suitable for all users, I am open to any
- suggestions on any enhancements or bugs that need to be fixed. So comment
- on anything you see fit. I can be reached at the following address until
- December 1990, since I will be graduated from OSU with a Computer Science
- degree and hopefully will either be working or persuing my MS degree. Or I
- can be reached e-mail if you have access to e-mail.

- DISCLAIMER::
-
- Due to viruses scattered across the world, I am not responsible
- for anything happening on your system. I recommand checking out your
- system and all files before using it, even this program. There is always
- a good chance someone embedding a virus in a program and re-distributing
- it. If you like to get a copy directly from me which will be virus-free,
- send $5.00 to cover material and shipping fee to the mailing address. Also
- specify size of disk.
-
-
- PURPOSE::
-
- This program will do three things:
-
- 1. Print the files on the disk on to 3-1/2" and 5-1/4" Disk
- Labels
-
- 2. Print text which you like to enter on the disk labels
-
- 3. Keep a file of all the files you might have collected
-
- When I wrote this program, the only size label I have is:
-
- 3.5" : 2.75" x 2.00"
-
- 5.25" : 4 11/16" x 1 3/8"
-
- Future release of this program will allow user to use any size labels.
-
-
- Features::
-
- Files --
-
- New -> 5.25" -> List Files
- New -> 3.5" -> List Files
-
- This feature will allow the files on the disk to be printed on the
- disk label. The user will have the option of filtering the files
- to be printed on the disk.
-
- New -> 5.25" -> Enter Text
- New -> 3.5" -> Enter Text
-
- This feature will allow the user to enter text to be printed on the
- label. There are three justifications that you can choose for each
- line (LEFT, CENTER, RIGHT).
-
- For 5.25" Disk you will be allow to enter up to 8 lines of text and
- for 3.5" disk you will be allow to enter up to 12 lines of text.
-
- New -> To File
-
- This feature will keep a list of files on disk so you can keep a
- master list on disk. The only weak part of this feature is it
- does not sort the entire list. I am currently using Microsoft
- Word 5.0 to sort my list and will be implementing a sort routine in
- the future release.
-
- Once the list has been created, you can also appending any future
- files to the existing list without having to recreate the entire
- list.
-
- The list will tell you everyting that the command DIR shows.
-
- Printer Port
-
- This program will support up to LPT4:. Since I only have LPT1: and
- LPT2: setup on my system, if anybody have LPT3: and LPT4: on your
- system, please test these two ports out for me, so I'll know that
- there are no bugs with the last two ports.
-
- Exit
-
- This will end the program.
-
- About
-
- Just like any About box.
-
-
- Drive --
-
- Selects which every drive you are trying to read from, since not
- everybody have the same drive configuration.
-
- Printer --
-
- The printers which this program will support. If you have a
- different printer and none of the following printer selection will
- work properly on your printer, let me know and I will implemented
- it into a next release or even a personal release just for you. I
- will need the following information from you if you:
-
- Escape Code for the following:
-
- 1. Compress Mode (set/release)
- 2. Unidirectional Print Mode (set/release)
- 3. Elite (12 Pt.)
- 4. Set 1/8 line spacing
- 5. Reset printer
-
-
- Enjoy and let me know what you think.
