- PrLabel is shareware with a suggested donation of £5.00.
-
- The interface is created using STSLib, a library of 3D
- gadget building and menu routines available from SciTech
- Software for £20.00.
-
-
- PrLabel is a utility to print labels on laser printer label sheets.
- Three patterns of labels are supported: 3x8, 2x8 and 2x7, defaulting to the
- 3x8 format.
-
- Running the Program
- ===================
- From the CLI, the program is invoked with:
-
- PrLabel [-38][-28][-27]
-
- where -38 is the same as the default and -28 and -27 select the 2x8 and 2x7
- formats respectively.
-
-
- From the Workbench, the Icon tooltype may be set to one of:
-
- FORMAT=38
- FORMAT=28
- FORMAT=27
-
- where FORMAT=38 is the same as the default and FORMAT=28 and FORMAT=27
- select the 2x8 and 2x7 formats respectively. To alter the icon's tooltype,
- select the icon with a single click, then choose the Info item from the
- Workbench's menu.
-
-
- The PrLabel Window
- ==================
- If, when you run PrLabel, you obtain a message saying BuildBoolGadget()
- needs a larger window, then you should select a smaller Screen Text font
- (this applies only to AmigaDOS V2.0).
-
- When PrLabel starts, a window is opened on the Workbench screen. The window
- contains:
-
- o A group of gadgets on the left in the format specified.
- o Seven text gadgets
- o Three gadgets labelled NEXT, PREV and KILL
- o One gadget labelled PRINT!
-
- The first of the text gadgets will be activated and will allow you to enter
- text. When you press RETURN, the next text gadget will be activated
- allowing you to enter an address without having to touch the mouse.
-
- If you have entered a single address, you can select the label position at
- which it will be printed by clicking the relevent label on the format group.
- Clicking the gadget again will deactivate it. If you select more than one
- label position, the label will be printed at all the selected positions.
-
- By clicking the NEXT gadget, the text gadgets will be cleared allowing you
- to enter a second address. You can repeat this process as many times as you
- desire. The addresses will be printed in the order you entered them, but
- they will only be printed at the currently selected label positions. Thus
- some of the addresses may not be printed. The addresses will be printed in
- order running down (rather than across) the label positions.
-
- When multiple addresses have been entered, each will be printed only once
- even if the number of label positions selected exceeds the number of
- addresses entered.
-
- The PREV gadget will allow to to step back through the adresses and correct
- mistakes while the KILL gadget will delete the currently displayed address.
- If KILL has no effect, it is because there is only one address left.
-
- Finally PRINT! will cause the labels to be printed.
-
-
- Menus
- =====
- PrLabel has only a Project menu with the items:
-
- o About
- o Quit
-
- The About item displays information about the program.
- The Quit item (or the window's close gadget) exits the program.
-
