Here is a file of macros, CASS.TEX, for producing nicely formatted labels for audio cassette boxes. The input consists of lines of text for the cassette title, side A, and side B. The four macros to accomplish this are \title, \sideA, \sideB, and \finish. The input file has the following form: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \input cass \title 0-3 lines \sideA lines (songs) \sideB lines (songs) \finish \end ---------------------------------------------------------------------- All four macro references should be in the file, even if some of the text is blank. The macros use \obeylines, so carriage returns start new lines. Also, there are two internal macros: 1. The symbol > is basically \hfill. Use this to push the remainder of the line flush right (use for song times, for example.) 2. The symbol | is basically \hfill\break and then indent the next line. Use this to break lines manually, which is the preferred method here. I think that for long song titles manual breaks are more logical. This also avoids attempts to hyphenate, and additionally it indents the next line to show it is part of the line above. The defined fonts are \rm,\bf,\it, and \sl. These are cm__9. The default font for the title is \bf and for the songs is \rm. The output has four small vrules near the four corners of the label to aid in cutting it out of the paper with a paper cutter: 1. Make a horizontal cut through the top pair, and a cut through the bottom pair. 2. Turn the paper 90 degrees, and line up the two left vrules (what's left of them after the first cut) on the cutting edge and cut. Do the same for the two right vrules. 3. Turn the paper 90 degrees, and line up the top hrule with the cutting edge and cut, likewise for the bottom hrule. Actually, I cut just behind these hrules so they remain on the label. It looks nice. 4. Finally, fold along each of the two remaining hrules. Place it in the cassette box and use the cardboard label that came with the cassette to keep it in place. Included are CASS.TEX and two sample files, SAMPLE1.TEX and SAMPLE2.TEX. Regards, Morgan Besson Villanova University Villanova, Pennsylvania USA besson@ucis.vill.edu
