Re: [Groff] Address labels

[Clarke Echols]

I haven't done labels, but I wrote a package to print business cards
on pre-perforated business-card stock.

Basically, I use .sp |(x)i to get to the proper location vertically
on the page, then set the page offset and line length to establish
proper horizontal position.  I then print the text.  It's fairly
straight-forward to write a macro and do a little math, or even use
a shell script to create the groff file while reading a mailing-list
database text file (with awk, sed, etc.).

The reason I like if for business cards is that I can have an
assortment of cards for different uses without having to pay a
commercial printer to make 1000 cards of one design.  I only get
10 per sheet, so I can print 10 or 50 or anything else I want.
I can even mix styles on a single sheet.
