                                        Must be in same directory
                                        as the 3X3.EXE program

                                        & example for other disks
                                        optional for disk being
                                        labeled (must be on that disk)

                6. INVOICE .TXT         The invoice for using this
                                        program on a regular basis


         The easiest way to test this program is to make sample labels
         for this disk and then try other disks.

         When copying to another disk, PLEASE remember to include  the
         file  MYLOGO.TXT.  You  can use your own logo or whatever
         but the file must be present. When editing the logos, stay
         within the boxes. If your printer does not print ASCII graphics,
         you will have to change the lines to "-" and "|". You will also
         have to do this if using NLQ.

         If you have added a 3.5" drive to your AT or XT and have  the
         DRIVER.SYS  in  your  CONFIG.SYS  there  should be no problem
         using the original designation of the drive  instead  of  its
         new assigned letter.

         Please check the program info on the second menu.

         The printer type, label choice, designated drive, sorting choice
         and label type can be entered at the command line.

                          EXAMPLE:  3X3 /pldst


         Leave a space after the program name, then use a slash and enter
         your desired choices. You do not have to enter all five options
         but you cannot skip one or leave a blank space.

                p = printer type, F for Epson FX (default)
                                  Q for Epson LQ
                                  R for Epson RX - no ASCII graphics

                l = label size    1 = 2"    Flat       (no default)
                                  2 = 2"    Wraparound
                                  3 = 2 7/8 Wraparound
                                  4 = 3"    Wraparound

                                  Use 5 or add 5 to the label number to
                                  turn on the sound prompts.

                d = drive choice  A or B only    (no default)

                s = file sort     A = alphabetical and stacked (default)
                                  U = unsorted and unstacked
                                  X = unsorted but stacked
                                  Z = alpahbetical but unstacked

                t = label type    1 = logo, notes and files
                                  2 = logo  and notes
                                  3 = logo  and files
                                  4 = notes and files
                                  5 = files only
                                  6 = notes only
                                  7 = view files

         Note to Epson LQ users-

         If your printer overrides the label length and form feeds 11",
         switch to single sheet rather than continuous forms setting.
         (the big lever on the right side on a LQ850)

         If you have a LQ2500 with color option, use the 'special setups'
         choice in the second menu to set colors other than black.

         The program will work with draft, roman and sans serif fonts and
         must be set for 10 cpi pitch. Other fonts, especially soft fonts,
         can cause unpredictable results.

         LQ printers will do the ASCII graphics but some of the characters
         may screw up the line spacing. If you get labels being skipped,
         this may be the cause and you will have to change your logo file.

         When copying to another disk, PLEASE remember to include  the
         file  MYLOGO.TXT.  You  can use your own logo or whatever but
         the file must be present.

         If you have added a 3.5" drive to your AT or XT and have  the
         DRIVER.SYS  in  your  CONFIG.SYS  there  should be no problem
         using the original designation of the drive  instead  of  its
         new assigned letter.


         Notes on Labels-

         If  you  have  a  friction  feed printer, you may want to try
         using 2.75" adding machine tape. The only tractor feed labels
         I have found are several times the cost of labels  for  5.25"
         disks. (I used to buy them at an APPLE dealer for $7 per 100.)


         I have finally found sources for form feed labels for the
         3.5" disks.
