- CUSTOM LABEL MAKER
- ============================================================
- Version 3.0
-
-
- The program CUSTOM LABEL MAKER was written to help make
- fancy labels for disks, books, return address, and other
- label needs. It can provide the professional touch to your
- disk collection and correspondence. CLM will print the label
- on the screen up to 100 times, allowing you to print many of
- the same or similar labels.
-
- The following is a brief explanation of some of the
- features. All commands are displayed on the screen.
-
- EDITING - You may edit the label on the screen, moving
- from line to line until satisfied. All the editing commands
- are listed on the screen.
-
- CENTERING - By positioning the cursor at the far left of
- a line you can use [INS] or [DEL] to center the line. Use
- [SHIFT][TAB] to position th cursor to the far left of the
- line.If it will not move further to the right but there is
- space there, delete the extra spaces at the end of the line.
-
- PRINTING - Pressing [ALT][p] will print the label on the
- screen. If you get a beep with this action, the printer is
- not ready. Press [ALT][n] then [+] or [-] to change the
- number of labels to be printed.
-
- DIRECTORY - To view the directory of the disk in the
- current drive press [ALT][d]. If you are using a hard disk,
- set the current drive at the DOS prompt to A:, and call CLM
- from the A> prompt (ex. C:\CLM ). Then you can view the
- directory of disks placed in drive A:.
-
- LOAD/SAVE LABEL - You may save the label on the screen by
- pressing [ALT][s]. The name can be any eight characters
- allowed by DOS. The .LBL extension is automatically added.
- To use a previously saved label, just press [ALT][l] to
- load it. CLM remembers what kind of label it was and places
- it into the right screen. Saving the same label name will
- replace another with the same name. Check the disk directory
- when in doubt.
-
- CHANGING LABEL KIND - There are four kinds of labels in CLM:
-
- DISK - suitable for on the top of disks.
- ADDRESS - Address labels up to 5 lines.
- BOOK - for the bindings of books, notebooks.
- LIBRARY - for 'From the Library of' labels.
-
- To access the different kinds of labels, press [ALT][f] to
- flip through them. When you leave one kind of label, the
- information you typed in will be lost unless you save it to
- disk. There are sample labels on the disk for each kind of
- label. Try them to see how LOAD works and for ideas on how
- to use the different kinds of labels. The disk sample (DISK-
- SAM.LBL) contains a disk label for CLM.
-
-
-
- CLM version 3.0 is not in the public domain. If you find
- it useful a donation of $10 will encourage me to continue to
- make improvements, fix bugs and write other programs. CLM
- works great on the Star NX-10 and should work properly on
- Epson and IBM compatible printers. Should you like to change
- some of the printer codes or add some special features, you
- can obtain the Turbo Pascal source code for a donation of
- $30. If enough express interest I will make a Quick Basic
- version of the source code available also.
-
- Thanks to all those who have supported earlier versions
- with donations and suggestions. I think we have all
- benefited with a better program.
