2417.0. "Cassette label program question" by ZEKE::MEMBRINO (four are better than six) Wed Aug 15 1990 17:27

    Hi all,
    
    I've waded my way through this notefile, searching for the
    answer, but I couldn't find it, so here it is:
    
           Does anyone have a .TXT file that can be used
           to print out cassette labels on a LNO*?  
           Something that would look like this:
    
           -----------------------------------
           | G |     song 1                  |
           | R |      "   2                  |
           | O |      "   3                  |
           | U |        etc                  |
           | P |                             |
           |   |                             |
           | N |                             |
           | A |                             |
           | M |                             |
           | E |                             |
           |   |                             |
           -----------------------------------
    
    And the Group name would be sideways, with some gray shading in the 
    spine of the cassette.  (kinda like db's Postscript Commusic 7 label)
    
    Any help is appreciated!

    Yeah, there is commusic cassette lable in postscript.  Not all ln0 can
    print it.

    I think what he wants is a generic version so he can make his own
    labels.
    
    len.

2417.6Come And Get ItAQUA::ROSTBad imitation of Rick CalcagniThu Aug 16 1990 12:5917
    A program that will do cassete labels in postscript format may be found in
    AQUA::ARCTIC:[rost.world]. 
    
    Copy out LABELS.EXE and SAMPLE.INPUT to your directory.  Then type:
    
    run labels
    
    At the prompt, give it the filename (sample.input) for input, and then
    one for output.  When it asks all labels, say Y.  Then print out the
    sample.input file to an ASCII printer and your output to a postscript
    printer.  This should make it clear how to make up your own input
    files.
    
    I have no idea who wrote this or whether it might be DEC use only, so
    please treat it as such.

    Thanks Brian,
