Labels format for the "labels" and "label2ps" format:
The file contain many labels, with no separators in between.
Every label consists of a line starting with the '#' character,
which contains otherwise comments (and possible selection letters)
and many other lines (not starting with the '#' character), that
contain the lines of the label.
The example that follows, the next 9 lines, contain 2 labels:

EQUAD, Princeton University

#
Sarantos Kapidakis
405A Butler Ave.
Princeton N.J. 08540

Don't forget the first '#' line, it is part of the label.
'#' lines are not label separators.  They can contain optional
letters, and then you can direct "labels" and "label2ps" to print
only those letters that have the letter "s" (say) on the '#' line
(option -g for label2ps).
