              COREL DRAW CASSETTE TAPE LINER TEMPLATE
               created by Peter Thies (71321,3363)

This file contains information about the Corel Draw! cassette liner
template entitled "CASSETTE.CDR"




INTRODUCTION: Hello Music Fans! The enclosed file is a cassette tape
              liner template created using Corel Draw.  The purpose
              is to provide you with an easy-to-use template from
              which you can create tape liner inserts for your
              cassettes. Corel Draw's use of over 100 fonts makes
              this an ideal and easy way to dress up your tape
              collection.

              This is a freeware product! Use liberally and feel
              free to distribute it. The only thing I ask is for
              feedback on how you like it. Also let me know if 
              other folks like it as well.  I also have a similar
              tape shell drawn with Lotus Freelance Plus. If you are
              interested in this as well, let me know.


There are five main parts to the cassette template:

     1. The shell: this is the basic template, and is drawn as a group
        of 43 objects.  It consists of the liner outline, the ruled
        lines, the source boxes, date and dolby fields, and the "A"
        and "B" side boxes.

     2. The text objects: There are two text objects, one for side A, 
        and one for side B. To edit these, simply select one side,
        choose Edit Text (^T), delete the existing song titles, and
        type in the names of the songs on your tape. (this is one of
        the nice things about this template - Corel Draw lets you
        create many lines of text as one object).

        Once you have typed in the names of the songs on the side you
        have selected, you can change the font to your taste.  I have
        chosen "None" as the spacing default, since it looks better on
        a cassette shell when a song title cannot fit on one line.

     3. The Tape Title(s): These can be modified to be placed in any 
        way on the tape label. Notice that the tape label is shorter
        in length than the rest of the tape liner. For TDK, Maxell,
        and SONY UX Pro tapes, the shorter tape label leaves room for
        the manufacturer's name to peek through. If you don't like
        this, simply stretch the ends of label to meet the sides of
        the rest of the liner.

     4. The Source Icons: Located to the right of the tape liner, 
        there are three icons - CD, cassette, and LP. Simply click
        on one and either drag it to the source box, or duplicate it
        and drag the duplicate to the source box. Notice that I have
        already placed CD icons into the source boxes, since both
        of these albums were recorded off the CD.

     5. The Date and Dolby Text Fields: Simply click on the date of
        the particular side, and change the text of both the date and
        the version of Dolby used.



           EXAMPLE OF HOW TO CREATE A CASSETTE LINER QUICKLY

     1. Save the file CASSETTE.CDR under a different name.

     2. Edit the text objects on the A and B sides by clicking
        on one side, choosing EDIT TEXT (^T), deleting the 
        existing names, and typing in new ones. Stretch the text to 
        fit on the appropriate number of lines, if necessary. You
        can easily change other text attributes if you like.

     3. Edit the Label Text using the same method in step 2.

     4. Edit the date and dolby text using the same method in step 2.

     5. Add source icons to the source boxes, if necessary, and 
        then save your work - you're done! Simply cut the template 
        out from the printed page, fold along the tape label line, 
        and insert into your cassette shell.


NOTE: Ok REAL Genesis fans, I know that theoretically both albums are too
      long to fit on one side of a 90 minute tape, but this is just
      for use as an illustration.  Also, I was going to use "The Lamb
      Lies Down on Broadway", but there are too many songs (with long
      titles also) which would make the illustration difficult!
