--------------------- T H E L A B E L E R -------------------
The Labeler was born over a year ago as a simple 3K program that
listed labels out. As I needed more functions The Labeler got
bigger and bigger. The Labeler now is 38.5K and takes up about
460k of memory when running (because of file management and bulky
Pascal code). The Labeler will now sort on any label, do your
file handling, print double wide label strips, and print out
every label shown on the display, double or single wide.
Starting with version 1.0 this is a brief history...
1.0 No color, no file utilities, basic set up, 4 or 6 line labels.
1.4 Color code added but not implemented, TURN PAGE added.
1.5 Color version created, simple file routines, 4 line labels only,
simulated windows added.
2.0 SORTING (Random), better file routines, LOTS of BUGS fixed!
2.5 More BUGS fixed, on line HELP added, confirm functions, double
labels added, EDITING function fixed.
3.0 Alphabetical sorting, routines (code) cleaned up for speed,
a lot of prompting for saving edited files (or new files)
added.
3.5 Printing all labels added, printing label list added, menus
cleaned up, edit flag on display file name added (*).
4.0 First released version ($8.00 US) fully operational version...
Prints DOUBLE in PRINT ALL LABEL mode, 1-5 line label version,
cleaner. First line large next lines small did not work in all
modes.
4.5 Prints out from any letter to any letter. Prints DOUBLE when
printing ALL LABELS and when printing FROM/TO. Cleanup of The
Labeler INC file, Messages cleaned up, a new color added for
some of the comments/messages, all printing can be aborted
with KEYPRESS. Proper house keeping and file handling for up
to 242 labels. All modes except first line big. External HELP
file to reduce size.
4.7 Uses SETUP to define Printer Port (to fix bug in ability to see
the DOS redirection from LPT1 to COM1). Allows any legal DOS
character to be used in filenames. Allows unlimited labels to
by handled. Can ESC from display of label list (can be a long
wait if not). Bug fixed in PRINT ALL (when no labels displayed).
4.75 Titles added to menu screens. BUG in load when new fixed, BUG
in SAVE-NO-RENAME LOOP fixed. Info Tag shadow fixed (on clear).
Exit Routines re routed. When editing old line is NOT erased.
Compiled to an *.EXE file for better memory management.
4.79 Fixed bug in "Another Name", Print bug when labels < 2. Printer
Okay function added to check printer status before you print out
labels. Sound added to some functions. ONLY COLOR. Fixed space
counting in PRINT ALL and PRINT FROM TO. If New Label selected
program will not prompt "Are You Sure?" unless you have a
file loaded or a file was edited. Full sorting on Label names
allowed in Sort mode and Print mode. Selecting TURN PAGE at first
only lists out the files, it does not re-sort them.
MOUSE SUPPORT ADDED
4.81 Mouse supported in MOST operations. Copy number now recognized in
the PRINT ALL and PRINT ALL FROM... TO... modes. Page numbers
added to screen. Can load file at any time while displayed. The
speed of "inter" changing files with mouse is 95% faster then
using the keyboard. When input is too long, previous input is
not erased from screen.
4.83 Changed to 'Delete ALL, ARE YOU SURE' instead of 'ARE YOU SURE'.
Changed to 'New Label, CONFIRM' instead of 'ARE YOU SURE'.
Fixing SPACE NUMBER in 4.79 caused another problem... Fixed.
Default FONT, WIDTH, and RE LISTING option can be set in the
SETUP file (New Setup MUST be run). Print From/To accepts mouse
input. Temporary mouse "lock out" after "ANY KEY" pause fixed.
Intermittent screen "loss" after printing fixed.
NOTE: New SETUP (v4.8) MUST be run (SETUP.EXE - 9.120k - 8/26/91).
8/91
4.84 Cursor (Mouse) went off when selecting NEW, SAVE NO - Fixed.
Edit '*' turned off when NEW after already loaded - Fixed.
Exit Routine "Cleaned Up", File name check routine altered to
either check for length or valid chars (if the label name is too
long AND has invalid chars ONLY one error msg given, if the
name is bad due to one reason or another it is still bad -
saves time).
11/91
4.85 Fixed minor problem with startup of no mouse loaded. If you
enter a bad filename but it is in correct format the pgm will
use it as the filename if you select NEW. Page counting fixed
(oops).
* 4.90 Complete Windows 3.0+ Version
* x.xx Faster code, suggestions from users will be added...
* Still Testing (Not Ready yet).
Anyone who purchases a copy of version 4.0-x.x will get free updates
for a year. Any and all suggestions will be taken into account on the
newer versions! All versions of The Labeler are (and will remain) reverse
compatible, that is to say that v4.6 will automatically convert all
files (labels) from ANY earlier version. The labeler will recognize
the older labels and convert on the fly for you...
