-\EL\ package makes a distinction between envelopes and labels.  The
-differences are:
-\begin{itemize}
- \item Envelopes are printed on separate pages, labels are printed
-   several per page
- \item Envelopes might have return address, labels might not

+\NEWdescription{Version 1.2} \EL\ package recognizes three kinds of media:
+envelopes, labels and \NEWfeature{Version 1.2}``big labels''. Envelopes are
+printed one per physical page, they could be rotated (i.~e.\ inserted
+in the printer sidewise) and could carry both the shipping address and
+return address. Labels and big labels are peel-off labels that are
+printed several per physical page, they could not be rotated. The
+difference between labels and big labels is that labels have only
+shipping address while big labels have both return \emph{and} shipping
+addresses. These differences are summarized in Table~\ref{tab:diff}.
+The kind and the size of the media are set either by package options
+or by the corresponding commands.

+\NEWfeature{Version 1.2} The commands |\SetEnvelope|, |\SetLabel|,

+following mailing labels.  The mailing labels, automatically generated
+by |letter| environments, are written to the |.aux| file, and
+therefore they all will be printed for the envelope or labels size set
+by the last |\Set| command. Sometimes, however, one needs to print
+envelopes for the different |letter| environments at different sizes.
+The commands |\ChangeEnvelope|, |\ChangeLabel| and |\ChangeBigLabel|
+have the same meaning and arguments as the corresponding |\Set|
+commands. However, instead of setting the media, they write the
+information into the |.aux| file, and the actual change is delayed
+until the |.aux| file is read (i.~e.~at the end of the document).
+Therefore they act only on the mailing labels, extracted from the
+|letter| environments, that follow this command.

+Some people letters contain below the address the subject like this
+\begin{quote}
+  Re: our recent talk
+\end{quote}
+A way to do this is to include it in the address (see
+Figure~\ref{fig:wrong}).  However, this additional info will be put in
+the mailing label, which is wrong. The package \EL{} defines a command
+|\re| to cope with this.

+This command poses the following problem. The rest of the \EL{}
+package meant to work not only with the standard |letter| class, but
+with any other letter classes that write address information to the
+|.aux| file in the standard format. However, if a package makes a
+change to the formatting of the letter itself, we cannot be guaranteed
+that it will work with all letter classes. Therefore we chose the
+following solution: the additional features are enabled only if the
+package option |re| is selected. If the option |nore| (default) is
+selected, the package works in the ``compatibility mode'', and the
+additional features are disabled\footnote{For \TeX perts: if the

+mode just before printing envelopes and labels.  The printer will print the 
+main body of the letter(s) using the paper tray, and then stop, waiting for 
+envelopes or label sheets to be fed in the manual slot.  The option 
+|pswait|, based on the code by \emph{William Slough} 
+\texttt{<cfwas@eiu.edu>}, 
+inserts the corresponding \PS\ |special|s in your output.  
+The option |nopswait| (default) suppresses this behavior.
+
+\begin{decl}
+        |\PSwait|
+\end{decl}
+\NEWfeature{Version 1.1} William Slough's code can be useful in
+other situations when you need to switch to manual mode in the
+middle of the document. The command |\PSwait| inserts the
+corresponding \PS\ code in the \dvips\ output. (An attentive reader
+has probably already guessed that the |pswait| option is implemented
+through the command |\AtBeginLabels{\PSwait}|).
+
+\begin{decl}
+ |psautotray|, |nopsautotray|
+\end{decl}
+\NEWfeature{Version 1.2}
+\emph{Uri Blumenthal} \texttt{<uri@ibm.net>} wrote code for automatic
+switching to other trays For example, if your envelopes are loaded
+into \texttt{/otherenvelopetray}, try the following code:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\AtBeginLabels{%
+  \special{ps:clear grestore 
+    statusdict begin false setduplexmode
+    /manualfeed true def
+    /otherenvelopetray end 0 0 bop }}
+\end{verbatim}
+If the package option |psautotray| is selected, \EL{} will try to
+guess the proper tray from the envelope you chose. The option
+|nopsautotray| (default) disables this feature. At present this
+mechanism is rather experimental; I would be grateful for
+failure/success reports as well as for suggestions. Note that |pswait|
+and |psautotray| options are not compatible (|psautotray| switches the
+printer to the manual mode anyway). If you selected them both, only
+the one selected last will be chosen.
+
+\NEWdescription{Version 1.2}
+Another solution by \emph{Robert Estes}
+\texttt{<estes@ece.ucdavis.edu>} works for Optra R+ printers:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\AtBeginLabels{\special{ps:

+2 dict dup /PageSize [297 684] put dup /ImagingBBox null put setpagedevice
+0 0 bop
+}}

+This package provides a comprehensive and easily customizable 
+system for creating mailing envelopes and labels in LaTeXe.  It 
+includes printing of barcodes and address formatting according to 
+the US Postal Service rules.
+
+The standard makelabels command in the LaTeXe letter.cls
+document class typesets labels on Avery 5352 sheets. A typical user
+may want more. EnvLab redefines makelabels in (hopefully})
+a more useful and customizable way. EnvLab:
+ - Typesets mailing labels or envelopes on a number of pre-defined
+label sheets or envelopes.
+ - Can be easily configured for any customized label or envelope
+sizes. The rule of thumb is: if you printer can print this, EnvLab can
+typeset this.
+ - Can optionally print barcodes and/or process addresses according to
+the United States Postal Service Rules.
+ - Allows you to include your logo in the return address.
+ - Painlessly interacts with mail merging packages such as mailing.
+ - Does not require special fonts for address and barcodes printing.
+The typesetting is implemented with standard fonts and LaTeX \rule
+commands.
+
+This package was written with US mailing standards in mind. This is
+not a reflection of the author's americanocentrism: US standard was
+only one I had official documents about. If you want to add your
+national standards, please contact me with pointers to the
+corresponding documents.
+
+The distribution of this package includes the following files:
+ - envlab.dtx---fully documented program
+ - envlab.ins---DocStrip instruction module
+ - elold.ins---DocStrip instruction module for older versions of 
+DocStrip
+ - elguide.tex---User Guide
+ - readme.version_number---Read Me file
+
+To install the package
+ - LaTeX the file envlab.ins. It will produce three files: envlab.drv,
+envlab.sty and envlab.cfg. NOTE: If your version of DocStrip is older
+than 2.3, use elold.ins instead of envlab.ins. 
+ - (Optional) Look at the file envlab.cfg and change it accordingly to
+your taste.
+ - Move the files envlab.sty and envlab.cfg to the LaTeX search
+path. NOTE: users of kpathsea based TeX (like teTeX) should also issue
+texhash to update the search database.
+ - Produce the documentation by LaTeX ing the files elguide.tex and
+(optional) envlab.drv.
+ - Enjoy!
