IMPORTANT NOTICE! Experimental Version of MineralLabel Now Available

MineralLabel 5.0 for Windows 98,2000, XP (Experimental)

I've had some reports of problems with MineralLabel with folks using Windows 2000, Windows ME, and Windows XP. Apparently the program will not install properly in those versions of Windows in some cases. I now have an experimental installation system available for these versions of Windows. Click Here to learn about it and download the experimental version. Do not download the version on this page. You must click the link above and download the new version.

Since I am no longer programming, I cannot address support issues for this experimental version.. My best recommendation is to give it a try. If it won't work on your system, it won't work. It's free, after all. MineralLabel was designed in Windows 3.1. It continues to work well in Windows 95 and Windows 98. It may or may not work on your installation of later versions of Windows.

What MineralLabel 5.0 Does

Designed specifically for mineral collectors and dealers, and based on OsoSoft's award-winning MultiLabel program, MineralLabel 4.5 lets you quickly print labels for your specimens, shelf ID cards in several formats for display cabinets, lists of your minerals from the built-in database, and even price lists for you dealers out there. And unlike any other labeling program on the market, MineralLabel 5.0 can handle chemical formulas properly.

What's more, MineralLabel is also a complete general labeling program as well. Using it, you can print return address labels, mailing labels from your customer list in its built-in database. You can print on any Avery or other sheets of labels in minutes.

But that's not all! MineralLabel 5.0 can also create post cards, name badges, and even business cards, quickly and easily. It's a one-stop solution for all your labelling needs.

What it Costs

MineralLabel 5.0 is now Free! I'm no longer programming, so I won't be updating this program in the future. It still works just fine, of course, and I've decided to give it to the rockhounds of the world at no charge.
