Uncle Carl's Famous
Generic Labeler
(C)1992,93 Carl J. Hafner
April 13, 1993
Incredibly FREEWARE !!!
DISTRIBUTION:
-------------
You are FREE to copy and distribute this program as long as the files...
LABEL1_7.PRG \ LABEL1_7.TXT \ LABELER.CUR \ OTHERTTL.TXT \ NEWTERMS.TXT
are included, are NOT modified in ANY way and NO FEE of ANY type is
incurred upon the recipient for the files _themselves_.
This program is Freeware, NOT Public Domain. This means that it remains
the property of the author, even though there is no fee to use it.
DISCLAIMER:
-----------
The author cannot be responsible for any damage to your equipment,
other hardware or software products, or physical or mental well being
caused by the use, misuse, abuse or inability to use this program.
The author also makes no guarantee as to the compatibility of this
program with other software or hardware products. Using this program
means that you understand AND agree with these terms. If you do not
understand AND agree, DO NOT use this program.
PROGRAM/ACCESSORY
-----------------
* GEN^LABEL works as either a program OR an accessory, depending on how
you name it and where you put it.
RESOLUTIONS
-----------
* GEN^LABEL _will not_ work in ST or TT LOW resolution, the display is
too wide. It will work in any other resolution.
ENTERING TEXT/QUITTING
----------------------
* You can move from line to line using the cursor arrow keys. When you are
ready to print, click on PRINT. When you want to quit, click on the box
in the upper left hand corner.
PRINTING/SAVING TO .LST FILE
----------------------------
* If you select the PRINT option, an alert will appear. You can either
send the output to a connected printer OR to a GFA .LST file.
The .LST file converts the text into CHR$ values. For example, the letter
A will be saved as...
reg1$=CHR$(65) .
Carl would be saved as...
reg1$=CHR$(67)+CHR$(97)+CHR$(114)+CHR$(109) .
This can be useful if you wish to include text in your compiled program
which you do not want viewed from a sector editor, ie: your name or a
registered users name.

REMEMBER: GFA has a set line length so you WON'T be able to save a FULL
line of text into a .LST file and have it load.

MOVING THE PANEL
----------------
* GEN^LABEL is moved in the same way you move a GEM window. Clicking
once on the "parent" box centers the panel. If run as a resident
DA, clicking on the parent box will set GEN^LABEL to its last
"exit" position.
CUSTOM MOUSE CURSORS
--------------------
* If a file named LABELER.CUR is found in the SAME directory as
LABEL1_7.PRG(ACC), GenLabel will load a User Defined mouse CURsor !
Users can create their OWN custom mice using UncleMouse 1.0a or newer
(available most everywhere) !
* THAT'S IT !
PRINTER PORTS
-------------
GEN^LABEL checks the PRINTER PORT for a printer. When you select PRINT,
it sends the command LPRINT text$ to your printer (text$ being ANY text
on any of the lines).
If you are using a SERIAL printer you will need to use the "port
redirection" program that came on your printer disk to redirect output
to the serial port. I'll bet you knew that already...
You should also have no problem setting up your printers internal fonts,
and printing, since GEN^LABEL merely sends a "print" command and
nothing else. Enjoy !
