- LABELER
-
- "LABELER.COM" is a program that allows you to print the contents of a disk
- directory to a 5 x 1 7/16" mailing label. It actually is a modified version
- of a program called "COVER.COM". Having some experience with both printers
- and 8086 assembly language, I felt that with a little effort this program
- could be modified to print on a mailing label. By changing some of the
- printer commands and a little editing to the program itself I was able to
- achieve this. The program is fairly easy to follow. Just specify which
- drive contains the disk you wish to have the directory printed from. It
- then prompts you to enter a title. You can enter anything you wish here.
- I like to include a title that describes the type of files that are on the
- disk such as UTILITIES, BASIC PROGRAMS, etc. The title only affects the
- printing of the label as it does not write this information to the disk.
- After pressing the RETURN key it will then read the directory information
- from the disk and begin printing. It may take a time or two to position
- the label correctly in your printer. Please note that this program works
- on EPSON and GEMINI-10X type printers. Also note that a 5 x 1 7/16" label
- will hold up to a maximum of 60 filenames including the title, the number
- of free bytes remaining and the date. For most users this should not be
- a problem. For me, this utility adds a professional touch to disk labels
- and hopefully it will benefit you as well!
