Enhanced Shipping List Service
Welcome to the Enhanced Shipping List Service, brought to you through a cooperative agreement between the State University of New York at Buffalo and the Federal Depository Library Program.

Label Information and Instructions

In order to use the inclusion checker/label program, you need to have the following:

• Have the label programs downloaded
• Have your current inclusion file downloaded and prepared
• Download the shipping list you want to have processed

This is how you do it:

How to Load the Programs:

1. Create a directory called docs, like this:

   C:\>md docs

2. Download the following programs to the docs directory:

   NOTE: If you downloaded these programs prior to January 20, 1997, please download these newer versions. Please save these files with the names as displayed.

   • doc1.exe
   • doc2.exe
   • docs.bat
   • fixitem.exe

How to Create/Edit an Inclusion File

First you need to download your item selection list from the Web, then you run the program to put it in the right format, edit it a bit more, and that's it. Here is how to do it:

1. You need to save your inclusion list from the web to the docs directory using the name temp.txt.
   1. Click here and follow the instructions for option 1. Selections, in rows and columns
   2. Save it to c:\docs\temp.txt.
   
   
2. Once the file temp.txt is in your docs directory, get into your docs directory and run the program that fixes the format, like this:

   c:\docs>fixitem

   You could also run it from windows if you'd prefer, by selecting run in file manager and running fixitem.exe in the docs directory.
3. Running fixitem has created a file in docs called myitems.txt, and those are your current item selections. The file just needs a bit more cleanup. Edit the file, like this:

   c:\docs>edit myitems.txt

   Go to the bottom of the file and delete the few lines at the end that are not item numbers. When you are through, click of FILE in the top left corner (or press Alt/F), then click on SAVE (or Alt/S). This saves the changes. To get out, click on FILEagain, then EXIT (or Alt/X).

   You might want to do this every quarter, as your inclusions change. You can also edit the file myitems.txt whenever you make a change to your profile.

How to Download the Shipping Lists

1. Get on the World Wide Web
2. Open the URL: http://ublib.buffalo.edu/libraries/units/cts/acq/gpo/
3. Select Paper, Electronic, or Separate in the Label section of the Shipping List Navigator box.
4. Select the shipping list you want.
5. Save it as c:\docs\sudoc.txt. If/when asked if you want to overwrite the existing file with that name, say yes.

How to Run the Program

1. Be sure your printer is online and loaded with labels. Thin Labels (3 1/2" x 7/16) work well.
2. Get into the docs directory, like this:

    C:\>cd\docs

3. Enter the word docs
4. Follow the instructions.
5. When the file of SuDoc numbers appears, delete the word EXCLUDED by using the delete key (Ctrl/Y), then save the file and exit.
