^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I wrote a C program that takes a configuration file and a data file
and produces labels.  The configuration file describes the labels
(size, number of rows & columns, margins on sheet, etc), and the data
file contains the data you want on the labels.

This program (source & DOS executable) is available via anonymous ftp
from gvl.unisys.com.  The file is ~/pub/albums/labels.zoo.

I have compiled and run it under MS-DOS (Turbo C), and Unix (Sun 3 & 4).
No warranty, expressed or implied as to the useability, etc. etc. :^)
