!MailLabel -Mailing Label printer
14
------------ Welcome to MailLabel ! -----------
This program has one sole purpose in life-
to print out address labels for letters and
parcels.
This program supports interactive help (!Help/
!Spy ) And is fully WIMP compatible,
Users of previous versions of MailLabel should
take note of page 13, which discusses the
conversion of files to the new format
------------- How to use MailLabel ------------
If on the first loading of !MailLabel you press
adjust over the icon on the icon bar you will
receive hints to aid those people who cannot
see the obvious.
All the fields on the window should be filled
with the appropriate data.
The WARNING field can contain a message about
the contents, such as
<WARNING: Valuable Magnetic Media>
------------ How to use MailLabel ------------
The STAMP field can be filled with any notes
on what postage rate is to be placed on the
parcel / letter
- <1 Norm> for 1st class normal postage,
<2 Pack> for a 2nd class
parcel and so on (you may use your own code but
I thought I would suggest one for those with
no imagination)
------------ MailLabel Data files -------------
The files saved by MailLabel (type 010) are
essentially ASCII text, and so may be loaded
into any WP / DTP package that will accept an
unknown filetype without screaming too loudly.
Each file has a header of 'MailLabelData file'
and then the warning, stamp, and address. If
anyone needs it, contact me and I will include
a Save as Editfile option in the next version.
-------------- MailLabel's Menus --------------

----------- Risc OS Printer Driver ------------
To change the printout, In the !Run file
MailLabel$BaseFont and MailLabel$BoldFont may
be changed to the font of your choice. If you
experience problems with the Risc OS printing
the program will provide simple error messages
to help you find the problem.
------------- Full Instructions --------------
A complete user guide, layed out as the Risc
OS User Guide, is avaliable from the author. It
is an Impression style document, but a text
only version could be arranged. I would advise
this for those who intend to use MailLabel a
lot. For authors address, see last page of this
help information.

-------- The Application Help Program ---------
This application has been designed to operate
in the multi-tasking window environment of the
RISC OS DeskTop. It will therefore operate
in any mode that your monitor will support.
For Information on using Application Help in
your own programs, contact the author
The wonderfull 3 Dimensional Icons are by
Simon Huntingdons Interface Manager Module.
------------ !MailConv Application ------------
This version of MailLabel uses a new format of
file. All files from previous versions of
MaiLabel will have to be converted by dragging
onto the "!MailConv" Program, to be found inside
the Application directory of !MailLabel.
Unconverted files dragged onto MailLabel will
cause an appropriate error asing for thier
conversion, so as to avoid mistakes.
