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!
