I have very little >experience in Postscript programs, so I would be very gratefull to get >a copy of the template. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 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. :^) ============================================================================ Bill Pringle Software Tools Paramax Corporation Voice: (215)443-7500 X4023 Internet: wrp@ivy.unisys.com UUCP: ...!uunet!mimsy!widener!gvls1!wrp%ivy
