I wrote an LJenvelope.sty for my own use. Rather simple but extremely inelegant. The prerequisites are you must print to a LaserJet, and you need a dvi-driver that understands landscape printing such as dviljp from Tom Rokicki's AmigaTeX. The advantages include using pre-printed company letterhead envelopes, not having to fold letters to get them just right, not wasting a whole sheet of labels to get a single address, and not having to print on plain paper then photo-copy onto labels. It's an ugly hack, but it works for me. -- Jim Wright jwright@cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Corp.
