I do believe that you will >need to buy all of the labels from them. I also use several programs by William and Macias. They are very well written. My comments are: * MyDiskLabeller - I use this program all the time and it is great for producing some very nice labels for disks, either simple or complex. One very nice feature of this program is that it will read the contents of disks (with a rapid read mode) and put the information on the label in about 15 different ways (disk space left, disk space used, dates (various), file names (either top level only or all the files), system included?, etc, etc). This is the feature that sold me on the program. You do not need to use their labels, I use Avery laser 5196 labels for my 3-1/2" disks, works just fine. I am using version 3.0.4 that has a problem with printers on a large network. We have about 30 printers and the program only sees about 4 of them, none of local to me. I talked to the developer and he said the previous version had the opposite problem, being able to see local but not distant printers. Therefore he is sending me V3.0.3 to tide me over until V3.0.5 comes out. They state that this is their #1 priority problem. * MacLabel (Avery) and StickyBusiness (William and Macias) - These two programs I believe to be identical. I only have the Avery one and is it has many identical features with MyDiskLabeller so I can extrapolate that it came from W&M and mimics StickyBusiness. All in all I would rather buy StickyB as it most likely will be a later release and I can get support right from the horses mouth. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = John DeRosa, Motorola, Inc, Cellular Infrastructure Division = = e-mail: ...uunet!motcid!derosaj = = motcid!derosaj@uunet.uu.net = = Applelink: N1111 = = I do not hold by employer responsible for any information in this message = = nor am I responsible for anything my employer may do or say. = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
