Description:

Label is a desktop utility for designing and printing labels.  It has the
following features:

  *     Prints on stock with 1, 2 or 3 labels across the page.

  *     Ability  to set the size of the label up to 4 inches wide  and  4 
        inches  high.   Printing position,  paper advance  and  dimension 
        checks are all taken care of.

  *     Operates  in two major modes,  "Type text" (also referred  to  as 
        "direct")  where label text can be typed and edited in  a  window 
        and  saved as a text file;   and "From file" (also  "mail-merge") 
        where labels are printed from data in a text file.  This file can 
        contain  data  for any number of labels and be  prepared  by  any 
        editor, word processor or database.

  *     Text  can  be  edited and printed left  or  right  justified,  or 
        centred.

  *     Printing in four horizontal pitches and three vertical pitches.

  *     Print  style  (for enhanced Epson-standard printers such  as  the 
        Star  LC-10)  can be any combination of  NLQ,  bold,  underlined, 
        italic or alternate colour (if supported by the printer in use).

  *     Can  print via the desktop printer driver,  so that printing  can 
        be done in the background.
