I have used SQL*ReportWriter ( a 4GL-Report Tool from Oracle) to generate
mailing adresses from database which I want to print them in labels.

Has anybody made any template for labels in Postscript? I have very little
experience in Postscript programs, so I  would be very gratefull to get
a copy of the template.

Thanks in advance.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
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. :^)
