DESCRIPTION

       pslabels  is  a  shell  script  which lays out labels in a
       plain  text  input  file  and  presents  the   labels   in
       PostScript on the standard output If no input file name is
       given, the standard input is read.  Currently the  follow-
       ing label formats are known:

       a5160  Avery 5160 Laser labels

       a5162  Avery 5162 Laser labels

       a5267  Avery 5267 Laser labels

       a5351  Avery 5351 Laser labels

       a5360  Avery 5360 Laser labels

       small
              0.5in by 2.125in Laser labels

       The  label input files are plain text, one label per line.
       The first (whitespace  separated)  word  on  the  line  is
       printed  in  a  larger  font,  while  remaining  words are
       printed in a smaller font underneath.


EXAMPLE

       So for example, with a label file labellist like:
            label1 text text
            label2 text text
            label3 text text
            label4 text text
            label5 text text
            label6 text text
       the command:
            pslabels a5267 labellist | flpr
       will generate a file laid  out  properly  for  Avery  5267
       labels.
