Extract

Kissinger (1982) published the first program for producing labels on a microcomputer. This program was limited in that it allowed only 3 lines of labels, worked only on a printer connected to LPTI: (parallel port), had no print options, and restricted the number of characters per label. The program described here is written in BASIC for the IBM-PC microcomputer. It has none of the above restrictions and is more versatile. The program is self-activating with AUTOEXEC to an opening menu with 12 options. Each option is called by number and the user follows a series of explicit, on-screen prompts.
