It can generate many different kinds of labels, containing directory information, images, fonts, and more. Organize all your music and data CDs with it! *** Check out the new http://WWW.ZIPLABEL.COM for tons of other new label programs! *** You'll find that this README.TXT is truncated from previous releases. All of the information that was in this file is now located in the HLP file, accessible from the Start Menu or the program itself. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Requirements .
