Hello, following the ideas from the discussion some months ago I implemented just another tool for creating barcode labels for tapes. It is written in Perl and uses the Barcode Writer in Pure PostScript. Currently it creates labels for DLT and LTO (Ultrium). I'd like it to become even more generic, but the way of specifying the label layout is still a bit inflexible. So I first want to show you what I did, and you can tell me what is needed... (I previously used something TeX-based for creating DLT labels, but now I use LTO4 tapes. LTO requires adhesive labels, this laser printer media is expensive and I needed something that uses the page efficiently. My script can fit 34 LTO labels on one A4 page.) BTW: Only A4 paper format is specified yet. If you need other paper formats, look at the paperspec variable. I guess I should write more documentation ... The script and some more text are at <http://www.sax.de/~sr1/projects/make_tape_barcode/> . Please tell me what you think about this. Sven -- Sven Rudolph <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.sax.de/~sr1/
