Looking for VIC20 Mailing label generating program

[grondinm]

Hello,

I'm wondering if such a thing ever existed. A program to print mailing labels to a MPS-803. Just looking for something that prints on regular plain paper not looking for something that would line up with label forms. I've recently started pen-paling and i think it would be cool to have the mailing address printed on a dot matrix printer. Any chance that a typ-in came out in Compute! or Compute's Gazette over the years? That would be even better cause then i get to type it in.

If nothing else i guess i could probably use Practicalc 20 to make something. Maybe even in SpeedScript.

The VIC-20 Listings archive has a type-in, but it's in German

I found a program called Label Maker on zimmers.

Label Maker.prg
Prints labels on a printer device #4.

[edit: doesn't appear to be very sophisticated!]

I did find that one before posting here but it looked like it was more to make simple labels for like index cards or subjects in a binder or something...still might be a good base if i wanted to adapt it to do more...

Back in when I first got my VIC my Mum sold jam she made and I wrote a program to print labels to stick on the jars. It reads DATA statements for a label then prints a complete sheet of them (with box characters around each label).

Nice! When i have my printer i may just end up doing that. Or trying to at least. Still would be nice to use something from the era you know...
