- LabSelect: Label selector and printer. QUICK HELP. Vn4 Rev 29
-
- For Workbench 2 upwards ONLY This revision expects data as S:<name>.lab
- ============================= ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- This program requires req.library to be in your LIBS: directory. Copy
- this file into libs: if you don't have it there.
-
- This utility is designed for printing small batches of address
- labels for a few individuals. eg 5 for Fred, 10 for Anne, etc. It
- is not intended for printing a lot of individual labels for a list of
- people. Use another utility for this: there are several PD programs
- available.
-
- The labels should be on continuous, preferably tractor-feed stock,
- and one-abreast.
-
- You need to have each name/address on a separate file, which you
- prepare with any text editor just as you would type them by hand. It
- doesn't matter whether you start each line at the left edge of your
- screen or leave a margin, as you can shift the text sideways when you
- 'view' it during the run. For easy use, put all these address files
- in the same directory. The program starts by offering you the S:
- directory, but you can use any. Some example data files are supplied
- with this program.
-
-
- ** Note **
-
- Addresses must be saved in ASCII format, not word-processor specific
- format. Text editors usually save in ASCII anyway. Some
- word-processors offer 'ASCII save' while others (eg Word Perfect)
- offer 'Save as Text', or "Print to File". Whichever way you do it,
- the file must be 'ordinary, readable' text. If you are in any doubt,
- the command TYPE <file> should produce clear text on your screen with
- no 'weird' control characters or colour changes.
-
-
- See the document Labsel.doc for fuller information about this utility,
- including the use of the LQ (Letter Quality) printer option, & how to
- type in addresses.
