Generic label generation. This program works with dBase III/dBase IV,
Quicksilver, Clipper, Foxbase and other such dBase style files (.DBFs).
The user is prompted to enter a file name (and can include path for a file
not in the current directory) and an index (optional). The user is then
provided with a list of fields in that file and can select those he/she
wishes to see in a label. Also available (as the last selections on the
pick list) are <blank line> and input text. Any text input will appear on
every label.
Further selections are width of label, number of labels across one page,
number of blank lines after each label, starting and stoping values (for
printing only part of your file), and whether or not you wish to print
directly to your printer, or to a file for later printing.
Label width and number of lines following a label should be selected
carefully. If you are using formatted label paper, use the <width> and
<lines after> parameters to place the print head on the next label, not
at the end of the first. The second label will commence where the first
left off.
