+ cdlabelgen is a program for generating frontcards and traycards for
+CDs. 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, 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.
+
+ cdlabelgen's purpose in life is twofold:
+
+ 1.) 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.
+
+ 2.) To have a minimum of dependencies -- cdlabelgen only
+ requires perl.
