+cdlabelgen's purpose in life is twofold:
+
+ o To be run automatically and swiftly from a shell script
+ and automatically 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 frontcards and traycards for CD's
+ burned via an automated mechanism (specifically 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.
