Well all you wouldbe letter writers out there - there is now no excuse for
not getting those letters written (such as: ``Well I printed your letter on
the laser printer but could not find a typewriter to address the envelope.'').

Finally the Postscript you have been waiting for: E.PS and L.PS

E.PS is a sample bit of Postscript which you can modify to print the sender
and the address onto standard business envelopes.

L.PS is a sample bit of Postscript which you can modify to print on the
blue (glue on) mailing labels - the only thing you have to write is the
class of postage you wish to use. [For a small price to the truely lazy - a
version which puts an "X" into the various boxes can be made available.]

These two programs are without a doubt less than optimal, however, they
seem to do a need dirty job - which somebody has to do. Comments,
improvements, much better versions solicited.

Both of the above files are provided below:
