[mod.computers.vax] Reply to "Labelling of printed output"

{ATE.R/CHESTNUT}ONTYME@OFFICE-1 (03/07/86)

---------------------------------------------------- I am looking for software 
which would place sensitivity labels on printed output.  These labels could 
include things such as 'COMPANY-PRIVATE', 'PUBLIC', 'DESTROY BEFORE READING', 
etc.  They should be placed at the top and bottom of every printed page of 
output including the flag and trailer pages.

I don't care whether the labels are stored with the data or are generated when 
a job goes to the print queue.  However, I do care that the software runs under
VMS 4.0 or later.

Please send mail if you have such software or know where to get it. Thank you.

------------------------------------------------------ A simple partial 
solution is to use the DEFINE/FORM command with the PAGE_SETUP option to point 
at an entry in SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB . The entry in that text library will 
then be copied to the printer whenever a new page is started. If you define 
that form to be the DEFAULT form (0), then no special action need be taken with
the print queue, otherwise you must print with:

$PRINT/FORM=my_form blarney.foo

and set the print queue to use that form with:

$SET QUEUE/FORM=my_form SYS$PRINT

Hope that helps a little.

At DECworld two weeks ago, DEC was showing a modified
print symbiont called SPRINT that is intended to be used for DOD security
marking.  I don't recall if it was a DEC product or where it came
from, but your DEC office should be able to track it down for you..
