mklabels - Create a PostScript file for printing labels
USAGE: mklabels [OPTIONS] [FILE ...]
mklabels creates a PostScript file on STDOUT, which can be
redirected to a file or your printer. The PostScript is clean
and easily editable.
It reads a file (or files, or STDIN if no file is given) with
labels 1 to a line. Fields, which will be printed 1 to a line,
should be separated by tabs (configurable).
The default is for 2 columns of 5 rows (adjust cols and rows),
with a label size of 3.5 by 2 inches.
All the configurable parameters may be adjusted at the top of the
script or by command-line options.
To print a grid to help with alignment, use the -G option.
