Label 5.03


HISTORY
Label 5.03 is an upgrade to previous versions of Label xx.x  that corrects
the problems associated with some earlier versions and fine tunes the pro-
gram. Label 5.03 is a standalone program written and compiled in Microsoft
Quick  Basic 4.5 for the sole purpose of making simple text labels.    One
day I wanted to print out a label for a 3 ring binder  and couldn't find a
program that was simple to use just for that purpose. All programs I found
on the market were built for use with databases,  and were designed mainly
making mailing labels.    After a couple weeks of searching both local and
distant BBSs I became so frustrated that I sat down and wrote the original
version of this program (version 1).  Other versions followed close behind
as I saw room for improvement in one area or another.

USAGE
The program is, as I said before, very basic in nature.  The user does not
need any help other than what is offered on the screen. The program prints
on 1" X 5" labels in your choice of either compressed,  normal,  or double
high, double wide characters or single address labels.  It also allows you
to shell to DOS.

PROGRAM CAPABILITIES
 - Print Labels in the following formats:

   - Standard size text 48 characters across on 4 lines (1" X 5" label).
   - Double High, Double Wide Text 24 characters across on 4 lines.
   - Compressed print 60 characters across on 5 lines.
   - Envelope address label 24 characters across, double high, double wide
     text on 4 lines, the first three lines being left justified, and the
     fourth line (for 9 digit ZIP CODE) being indented 14 spaces.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
 - IBM or compatible computer with 256K
 - CGA monitor
 - Graphics capable printer emulating an IBM Graphics printer
   (there is a printer compatibility test available within the program)

NOTE
I hope this fills the needs of some of you.  Please feel free to write and
suggest improvements to the program or let me know its problems.
