This file is a "Readme" for the "tape" documentstyle option that implements
commands to maintain a primitive database of albums from which subsequently
casette tape labels can be printed with minimal effort. A significant
attraction is the fact that the album database can be shared among users. 

The author hopes that from time to time netters  make their databases
available to general public.

Installation:
In order for the 'tape' style option to be loaded, one of the two things will have to be done:

1. A copy of the macro file 'tape.sty' be put in the standard place for
such macros (typically /usr/lib/tex/macros), or

2. If you do not wish to install it as in step 1. or if you do not have
such priviledges, then a copy of 'tape.sty' may be put in some other
directory, and the path declared in the environment variable TEXINPUTS;
e.g. for C-shell on unix systems, put a command similar to the following in
the .cshrc file: 

setenv TEXINPUTS .:/usr/lib/tex/macros:/users/podar/texlib}

Caveat: I should really have made "tape" a standalone document style, but
was lazy. I suggest that the following command be used for its invocation:
\documentstyle[tape]{article}
without any other options. Also some of the list making environments, etc.
are redefined, hence if you try printing some regular text besides the
tape label, things may not come out right.

As always, comments, suggestions, bugs etc., are welcome. Also, please let me
know if any worthwhile modifications are made.

enjoy.
