- Overview and history:
-
- LSlab was written by me because the programms available in the PD didn´t
- suit me. Either they are written in BASIC or some combinations of
- printing styles don´t work. That means that the only good labelprogram
- in the PD couldn´t write variable linefeeds and print condensed in NLQ.
- The last was a matter of my printer, but sometimes the disks aren´t wide
- enough to keep all the text I want to be printed.
- So LSlab was designed to print labels that meet all my requirements. It is
- now possible to set the linefeeds between the textlines freely in 1/216"
- steps and the program checks if condensed printing is selected and switches
- off NLQ for that line. Also it is possible to print a line
- four times (2 times NLQ) to get an usable printout even with a weak ribbon.
- But my indefatigable betatester had so mamy ideas for improvements that my
- private version 0.5 soon grow to this version 1.0. You can now setup your
- own codes for the printer and are not longer bounded to the Epson Esc/P
- System. You can now take advantage of the "this style not in NLQ" feature
- for every printing style. Also you can print on labels of various sizes.
- As an additional feature you can set the lenght of a label in 1/216" steps
- so after printing a label the next label will be exactly set to the right
- position.
-
- Copyrights and so:
-
- You use LSlab on your own risk. LorraineSoft won´t be liable for any direct
- or indirect dammage resulting of the use of LSlab. Nor I´ll pay for any
- journey to India or the dammages caused by that.
- LSlab´s copyright is by LorraineSoft (oh,what a German construction). You
- may copy LSlab only in the following cases:
- 1. For backup purposes and to sample your own disk with e.g. printer
- utilities
- 2. With written permission of LorraineSoft. This is given in the case that
- 1. The complete drawer LSlab is copied and
- 2. The copy is sold for less than US$ 1 /DM 1.50 (+ media costs, but
- not more than US$ 5 or DM 5.- including media). This is dedicated
- to the German PD-vultures, especially Karstadt und S.Ossowski.
- 3. If there is somebody who wants to take LSlab in his PD-serie he also
- needs a written permission of LorraineSoft. This is hereby given to
- Fred Fish and Kickstart/Maxon PD. The compilators of this series -
- but only they - are allowed to sell the disk with LSlab for more than
- US$ 5 or DM 5.-.
- This conditions that should not be nescessary in the PD have become
- nescessary as there are some PD distributors here in Germany who found a
- easy way in PD to earn money. They SELL one PD-program for e.g. DM 30.-
- (US$ 20) and so on. (Greetings to S.Ossowski and Karstadt)

- Development:
-
- LSlab was designed on a 1 meg Amiga 500 with one external drive and the
- senil Kick 1.2. But I haven´t yet got the money for an Amiga 2000 with
- Kick 2.0. So if there is anyone who wants to support me I will be very
- delighted. Also if there is anyone who has two Amiga ROM Kernel Manuals
- he could please me by sending one exemplar to me. That would speed up my
- programming (at this timein a trial-and-error style).
- But if anyone has problems, especially with the printerdriving, he should
- inform me in any case. Also any suggestions for improvements are welcome.
-
- LSlab takes usage of the ARP.library. Many thanks to the ARP developing
- team. ARP brings a lot of functions keeping my executables as well as the
- sourcecodes shorter. Also some functions would have been difficult to
- realize, e.g. the Filerequester. But how can I get an ARP developer disk ?
- If anybody knows please write to me. Or tell me what a SASE is. At this
- time I´m using ARP.lib and includes of Version 1.1 from PaNorAmA 27.
-
- Distribution:
-
- The latest version of LSlab is available in any case at this (mine) adress:
- LorraineSoft
- Stefan Berendes
- Königsberger Str.15
- D-4370 Marl
- Germany
- Please add US$ 10 (within Germany DM 10.-) for disk, packing, mailing etc.
- When you also send me the codes of the printer I can adapt the printer-
- congig file to your printer.
- By sending the money to me you´ll become a registered user. That means
- you´ll be informed if there´s a new release or so. Also suggestions from
- registered users would be considered first.
