% label.tex, Russell Brown (rbrown@ms.uky.edu)

% Change the "\input filename" to whatever you call your
% particular file

% The following is a format for printing mailing labels. To use, set
% the following six dimensions,
%
% \nrows = number of rows
% \ncols = number of columns
% \vcorner= vertical distance from top of page to top of first label
% \hcorner = horizontal distance from left edge of page to left edge of label
% \hlabel = horizontal width of label
% \vlabel = vertical height of label
%
% \hfudge = correction to make the horizontal alignment to work out correctly
% \vfudge = correction to make the vertical alignment to work out correctly
%
% These last two lengths require some experimenting.
%
% To type the labels, use the macro \lb which takes one argument, the
% entire address with lines separated by \\.
% Example \lb{line1 \\line2\\line3}
%
% If a label has too many lines,
% it will throw off the alignment of subsequent labels.
%
% In practice, you will want vcorner and hcorner to be larger than the
% physical corner in order that the address is not put right at the
% edge of the label.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%  USER DEFINED LENGTHS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Everything else is computed using these 6 quantities.
