1. dLabel-2D Release

dLabel-2D has now been released. This product is similar to the popular
dLabel-32 program, but adds 2D barcodes (Aztec, DataMatrix, PDF 417, Code
16k and Code 49)to the 1D varieties already supported - allowing hundreds of
characters to be included in barcode labels and forms.
A testware of dLabel-2D (version 4.21 to keep in line with dLabel-32) is
currently available for downloading from our web site

2. dLabel-32 update

Version 4.21 of dLabel-32 has been released. This fixes a couple of minor
problems with version 4.20; the Print Preview Zoom feature now works
correctly, and the Picture Source file open box now correctly scrolls
through the filename list. Upgrades may be downloaded from our web site.
