DESCRIPTION
    cdlabelgen's purpose in life is twofold:

    o To be run automatically and swiftly from a shell script and automati-
    cally generate a frontcard and a traycard for a cd--usually data
    archive cd's. The traycard (which goes behind the CD itself) is
    U-shaped and the ends of the CD case bear the label of what the CD is.
    o To have a minimum of dependencies--cdlabelgen only requires perl.

    cdlabelgen was designed to simplify the process of generating labels
    for CD's. It originated as a program to allow auto generation of front-
    cards and traycards for CD's burned via an automated mechanism (specif-
    ically for archiving data), but has now become popular for labelling CD
    compilations of mp3's, and copies of CDs. Note that cdlabelgen does not
    actually print anything--it just spits out postscript, which you can
    then do with as you please.

    The latest version of cdlabelgen as well as this document can be found
    at http://www.aczone.com/tools/cdinsert/. The software package includes
    CGI scripts that can be used to serve cdlabelgen over the internet. An
    older version may be available at: http://www.red-bean.com/~bwf/soft-
    ware/cdlabelgen/.

    Thanks to some really hairy postscript from GNUPlot, cdlabelgen now
    supports arbitrary ISOLatin font characters. This means that you can
    print out characters like
