Hi Jason, That little utility (desperate hack, really) came out of us having no desire or money to buy new printers, since our previous ILS supported sheet labels. So a few hours of my time was better than buying several new printers. Presently I don't have any time at all for exploring how this could be integrated into Evergreen proper, though I hope that changes. But I also don't see us moving to single labels, either.
Oh, and the utility does allow you to choose an arbitrary starting point, not just a column. I never expected anybody else but us to use it...very happy that others found it useful, though. -John John Rucker Assistant Director/Systems Administrator Branch District Library 10 E.
