I wrote a little perl script which extracts data from the transactions 
and orderline tables, then spits out a pipe-delimited text file. I use 
that file to do a "mail merge" in a word processor to generate the faxes 
I sent to my suppliers to fill each order. Once it is set up it can be 
fully automated with a cron job and word processor macros. You could to 
the same thing for shipping lables. There may be a better way but this 
works quite well for me. Of course it is all external to IC.
