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
