There has never been a simpler, quicker label program.  Whether it's one
or 99 labels you need, EASY LABEL is up to the job. It pops onto the
screen in seconds, so straightforward help is not needed.

A screen asks you to type in the contents of the label, line by line.
It asks you the size and if you need a label printed for alignment
purposes.  Flick a key and the label is on the way.  What you see is
exactly what you get an instant later.

The price for the simplicity is that nothing is saved to disk and you
don't get sorting or all the other things complicated label programs
offer.  But if your job requires a few labels now and then and you hate
reading user manuals, this is the program for you.

                                EASY LABELS

         THE ON SCREEN LABEL MAKER - WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU PRINT.

        EASY LABELS has been developed for those small address and 
        inventory label requirements. It is fast and easy. EASY
        LABELS is written for the IBM PC/XT/AT and true compatible
        machines. EASY LABEL has the following features.
                
                EL IS 100% menu driven
                Permits laying out the label format on the screen.
                PrintS up to 999 labels at a printing.
                Accommodates 3 1/2" X 15/16" and 4" X 15/16" labels
                cannot be saved ta a disk file.
         
        EASY LABELS  requires the following.

                IBM PC/XT/AT OR TRUE COMPATIBLE MACHINES
                RAM - 128 K
                IBM CGA OR MGA GRAPHICS OR EQUIVALENT.
                COLOR OR MONO MONITOR*
                ONE DISK DRIVE(OPERATIONS)-TWO DRIVES(INSTALLATION)
                IBM COMPATIBLE PRINTER 
                IBM or MS DOS SYSTEM - 2.0 OR LATER
                READABILITY OF QUICK BASIC 2.0 COMMANDS

        To prepare your working master format one disk with the \S 
        option. See your DOS SYSTEM manual for instructions.
        
        To install EASY LABELS place your original(write 
        protected) in drive A: and your newly formatted disk in drive 
        B: and enter the following command. 
        
                For color and mono systems - A>INSTALL B:*

        *EASY LABELS may be installed on any drive (A: through M:)
         by substituting the valid drive in place of "B".
         ie. INSTALL C:

        
        When the process is completed place your master SIMPLE LABEL
        disk in a safe place. Place the working disk in DRIVE A: and 
        initiate EASY LABELS by entering A>EL. If you have a 
        monographic monitor and find that you cannot read the 
        screens then you probable have a monitor drive by composite
        input from a colorgraphic adapter. If this is the case read
        the instructions under "COMPOSITE MONITORS" at the end of 
        read me. 

       
        All EASY LABELS screens are in the library EL.PAK and are 
        managed by the resident program SPEEDSCR.COM. In order for 
        the screen program to operate properly SPEEDSCR.COM and its 
        variables must be loaded into memory before running EASY
        LABELS. The batch file EL.BAT will do this. EASY LABELS
        should always be initiated by entering A:EL.

        SPEEDSCR.COM(C)(TM) is a product of THE SOFTWARE BOTTLING 
        COMPANY OF NEW YORK who has licensed the distribution of 
        the SPEEDSCR module to support libraries developed with 
        screens developed with SOFT CODE. The SPEEDSCR module may
        not be copied except for use in supporting the screen
        libraries on this disk.
        
        COMPOSITE MONITORS: Composite driven monographic monitors 
        are usually unable to differentiate between colors and
        require a different screen library. This library ELM.PAK
        is provided on the master EASY LABELS disk. The following 
        steps should be taken to prepare your working master for 
        this equipment configuration. 
                1. Place your working master disk in drive A:, and 
                   original EASY LABELS in drive B:
                2. Enter the following commands at the A>.

                .      COPY B:ELM.PAK EL.PAK

                3. This will replace the original EL.PAK library 
                   with the library of ELM.PAK.
                4. To run your modified EASY LABELS working disk
                   enter A>EL as before the modification.


        DUAL SYSTEMS: If your equipment configuration includes both 
        a monographic and colorgraphics adapter with both  
        monographic and color monitors you will need to switch your 
        system to the color adapter. The master EASY LABELS disk 
        contains COLOR.EXE and ELD.BAT. If you need to initiate your 
        system on the mono monitor and switch the program to color 
        system perform the following. 

                1. Place your working master disk in drive A:, and 
                   original EASY LABELS in drive B:
                2. Enter the following commands at the A>

                        A>COPY B:COLOR.EXE 
                        A>COPY ELD.BAT

                 3.To initiate EASY LABELS from the monographic 
                     system and transfer control to the colorgraphic 
                     system enter A>ELD.
