DESCRIPTION: Dynamic label maker with barcode

COMMENTS:
This is being released under the GNU-LPGL licensing agreement.  Basically, it means that you may use this 
source in whatever program you want, but any changes you make to THIS source must be made available.  
Please email any improvements to jkrogers@bellsouth.net and I will try to implement them into this 
distribution.

Any ideas on how to improve this program are welcome, especially since I have put it in one of my 
programs that I sell. Send to jkrogers@bellsouth.net and good things will happen to you.

This a dynamic label maker for the end user created in C5b abc. It also has the code of how to create 
an Interleaved 2of5 barcode, which is part of the clothing labels that I use in my program. The app 
uses the Tintools Report Viewer, so if you do not have this template in your registry you will get this error.

I use this method of allowing the end user to design a label in my DLL. This code is in the form of an EXE. 
So the demo files that the program uses have 1 or 2 records to show the results. 
I also use Hanson's tagging templates to allow printing of tagged records only in my DLL. That is removed.

The files used in this demo for creating the label are easily changeable. Not only the demo data files 
but the files used by the label maker itself. These label maker files are set up for the programmer to 
load for their end user. They determine what data the end user will see to place on the label. They are 
keyed to allow this. This way more than one kind of label can be created by the end user. I also use 
this to allow my end user to create a custom payment check for those times when my default payment 
check is not the right size. This report is not present in the demo. Just the labels are. Fields in the 
label maker files determine this in the editor and report. I create several labels/checks in my program 
that cannot be changed but can be copied by the end user.

The report is crying for a template for the label and "the files to use" code.

The idea and major amount of the code was acquired from Icetips uploaded by Bobcat Systems. 
I have changed much in the way it works.

Enjoy, and please let me know about bugs/improvements
