                      5: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      6: \f3labels\fP [options]
                      7: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      8: \fILabels\fP writes labels onto the standard output using
                      9: coded information taken from standard input.  In the input, a line
                     10: beginning with \f3#\fR is a label header.  Subsequent lines up to the
                     11: next header or end-of-file are accumulated and output so as to be
                     12: centered horizontally and vertically on pin-feed
                     13: label forms.  Lines beginning with \f3*\fR are treated as comments
                     14: and are ignored.
                     15: .PP
                     16: The following options may appear in any order:
                     17: .IP \fI\-n\fP 0.75i
                     18: Print \fIn\fP copies of each label.
                     19: .IP "\f3\-s\fP\0\fIstring\fP"
                     20: Select only those labels whose headers contain a character
                     21: in \fIstring\fP.
                     22: .IP \f3\-t\fP
                     23: Format for curved tape labels (the default is to format
                     24: for rectangular mailing labels).
                     25: .PP
                     26: Label forms should be used with a pin-feed platen.  For mailing labels,
                     27: the carriage
                     28: should be adjusted so that the first character is printed at the
                     29: leftmost position on the label and so that the first line of the
                     30: output is printed on the topmost line of the label.
                     31: Since tape labels are curved, some experimentation may be required
                     32: to get the text positioned properly.
                     33: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
                     34: Label lines may be at most 40 characters long and there may be
                     35: at most eight lines per label.  If these limits are exceeded, a label
                     36: with an error message is formatted onto standard error output.
                     37: Thus if standard output and standard error output are directed to
                     38: the same file, an erroneous label does not result in misformatting
                     39: of the other labels.
