NAME
uplabel - Text filter to generate multiple-up labels from
1-up label text.
SYNOPSIS
Command syntax:
uplabel [-ln][-sn][-un][-wn] {infile | - } [outfile]
-l number of lines per label, default -l6, max -l255
-s number of spaces between labels, default -s1, max -s255
-u number of columns up, default -u3, max -u255
-w width of columns, default -w26, except -w32 for 4-up, max -w255
if infile is '-', input is from stdin
default outfile is stdout
DESCRIPTION
Uplabel is a simple text filter which cuts-and-pastes blocks
of input text into parallel columns. It is designed to
format 1-up label text for multiple-up labels.
The number of lines per label, which is a command-line
parameter, determines how many input lines are to be read in
for each label.
Input lines longer than the column width will be truncated.
CAVEATS
All characters in input are passed through to the output.
Non-printable characters in the input text may cause
unexpected results.
EXAMPLES
To format 4-up labels from an input file named labs, to an
output file named lab4:
uplabel -u4 labs lab4
NOTES
Compiled using Microsoft C 5.1.
Uses getarg.c by D'Arcy J.M. Cain to handle the command line
arguments.
A makefile is included for ndmake.
