After I posted that using a postscript box to do the SliTeX binding box,
a user asked me how. So I decided to work out a sample file.
It uses Tom Rokicki's dvips' bop-hook feature so that the binding
box will appear automatically on every page. Tom's dvips works on unix,
msdos and vms and ftp'able [see Bobby/Raymond's monthly postings.]
To change the line width, style, etc. is a problem of postscript.
Users may consult with Adobe's ``Red'', ``Blue'' books. Note that the
red book has 2nd edition. The ISBN numbers are:
0-201-18127-4 (New ``red'' book, it is actually 80% white 20% red)
0-201-10179-3 (blue book)
The sample file also provides answers for printing tiny lables
on SliTeX and PS and LaTeX/Plain TeX overlay problems. Just change the
box to <whatever you need, be it ``tiny label'' or ``DRAFT''>.
%% begin sample file %%
% The sample file is tested with emTeX, Tom's dvips, and ghostscript
% [msdos version].
