+%======================================================================*
+% \spine{text} makes a boxed label for the spine of a 3 ring binder
+% This is printed in \Landscape mode, 24pt type, and with a ruled box
+% around it. The box will be at least 15cm long, but will extend
+% if the text requires more space. Instructions for installing the
+% label in the spine of a binder are printed, but if more than one
+% label is created the instructions are only printed once.

+ How to install the spine label on a binder:
+
+ \item{1.}
+ Cut out the label around the outside of the
+ bounding ruled box. Leave extra paper
+ (about 1.5cm or so) on the RIGHT side.
+
+ \item{2.}
+ Obtain a long thin plastic ruler or similar object which can
+ slide down the pocket on the binder spine.
+
+ \item{3.}
+ Put the label along the ruler, face up, and fold the extra tab
+ of paper on the right of the label over the end of the ruler.
+
+ \item{4.}
+ Slide the ruler, with the label on it, down the spine of the
+ binder. When the label is in place remove the ruler. The label
+ will remain.
