+\end{slide}
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\begin{slide}
+  \section{Special commands}
+You can add additional page-breaks with \code{\bs{}newpage\bs{}ticketreset}. This clears the ticket-buffers and sets the corresponding values to initial values.
+
+This can be used if you create a handful of tickets multiple times.
+
+The command \code{\bs{}backside} is useful for flash-cards, see the use-cases below.
+\end{slide}
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\begin{slide}
+  \section{Organising and reading input}
+  In general it is a good idea to create a file that contains all definitions and the whole latex-setup and a second file that contains only the data that you like to print which can be referenced by \code{\bs{}input}. 
+
+For example, if you reference a huge database of names of people which are used for the pins of a conference, you can easily write a script (perl, python...) that extracts the data to a file that is itself latex-formated with a \code{\bs{}myticket\{  \}\{  \}\{  \}} on each line.
+
+Sometimes -- of course -- you only have to print only a small amount of data and all data can easily be written to a single file. 
+
+Sometimes a small generator-function can help to create numbers on tickets:
+

+\end{quote}
+
+\end{slide}
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\begin{slide}
+  \section{Use-cases}
+  Some examples were referenced at the beginning of this manual. I will finish this short introduction with an overview of special examples and their implementations:
+
+\subsection{Files and pins}
+This is a simple example for your files. The same applies to pins. Start with a \code{\bs{}ticketdefault}, with this background:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\renewcommand{\ticketdefault}{%
+  \put(155,5){\begin{sideways}%
+      \includegraphics[width=35mm]{ifmlogoc}\end{sideways}}%
+  \put(150,50){\begin{rotate}{180}\Huge C O M P U T E R\end{rotate}}%
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
+\end{slide}
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\begin{slide}
+\vspace*{10mm}
+Now, create the content of the \code{\bs{}ticket} which differs:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newcommand{\filelabel}[3]{\ticket{%
+    \put(33,48){\begin{sideways}\bfseries\Large#1\end{sideways}}%
+    \put(43,5){\begin{sideways}%
+        \begin{minipage}[t]{50mm}%
+          {\bfseries\large#2}\\[2ex]\large#3%
+        \end{minipage}%
+      \end{sideways}}%
+}}
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
+
+And fill the tickets:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\begin{document}
+...
+\filelabel{1}{\LaTeX{} - styles}{Standard styles\\Own styles\\%
+  \hspace*{5mm}\bfseries ifmslide\\\hspace*{5mm}\bfseries ticket}%
+...
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
+\end{slide}
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\begin{slide}\vspace*{-4mm}
+\subsection{Visiting-cards}
+In this example, the \code{\bs{}ticketdefault} is empty, since we need a front and and background that differs:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\renewcommand{\ticketdefault}{}%
+
+\newcommand{\vcardfront}[5]{\ticket{%

+    \put( 63.2, 2){\color{uni}your logo}
+    \put( 5, 13){\color{uni}\line(1,0){56}}

+\newcommand{\vcardback}[1]{\ticket{%

+    \put( 7,19){\small%

+}}
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
+\end{slide}
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\begin{slide}\vspace*{10mm}
+And fill the tickets:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}

+\newcounter{numcards}

+with two different commands. However, this can be changed according to your taste:

+All data is in a file:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+...
+\begin{document}
+\input{words}
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
+\end{slide}
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+\begin{slide}\vspace*{10mm}
+Now change the command for the backside:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\renewcommand{\card}[2]{\ticket{%
+    \put(3,30){\parbox{58mm}{\large{\textbf{ #1:}}}}%
+    \put(4,23){\parbox[t]{58mm} {\small {\blt #2}}}%
+ }}
+\renewcommand{\raiz}[3]{\ticket{%
+    \put(3,30){\parbox{58mm}{\textbf{#1:} #2}}%
+    \put(3,13){\parbox{58mm}{#3}}%
+ }}
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
+
+Use the special command \code{\bs{}backside}, do some further adjustment for your printer and reread the file:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+\backside%
+\oddsidemargin=8pt
+\input{words}
+...
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
+
+If you want to print this on a duplex-printer rearrange the pages with this command for example:
+\begin{quote}
+    \begin{minipage}[t]{0.5\textwidth}
+      {\scriptsize
+\begin{verbatim}
+psselect -p1,3,2,4 ex_flashcard.ps ex_flashcard_dup.ps ...
+\end{verbatim}
+        }
+    \end{minipage}
+\end{quote}
 \end{slide}

-You can add additional pagebreaks with \code{\bs{}newpage\bs{}ticketreset}. This clears the ticket-buffers and sets the corresponding values to initial values.\\

+  Many thanks to those who used ticket.sty for many years and helped
+  to find some small bugs and those who provided ticket-definition-files (tdf)
+  and suggestions for new features.
+  
+  Many special thanks to Santiago Mejia who created an initial version
+  of the flash-card use-case.
