If you are using LaTeX, you can do the following.  I don't know if it
works with plain TeX.

You can put \makelabels right at the top of your *.tex file like this:

>  \documentclass[letterpaper]{letter}

If you do this, the last page of the dvi file will be a sheet of
addresses that will fit on a certain size label (I don't remember
which).  The label size might be in the documentation.  Good luck.
