% This is a LaTeX file for creating a business card.
%
% You just supply a 'guts.tex' and it makes a set of 8 copies per page
% that you can cut out. I print it on plain paper and although the
% cards are not stiff, people accept them anyway!  The advantage is
% that one can always print more, one can change them quickly and they
% don't cost much.
%
% With the initial values, businesscard.tex works for both letter and
% a4 paper, giving 5 cards vertically and 2 horizontally.
%
% This file reads a file called 'guts.tex'.
% Use \\ between lines of the guts.
% You can use graphics too.
%
% Example name with date:
% Tom Schneider \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots 2005 Sep 7 \\
% (Note: \dotfill might work nicely, I haven't tried it yet.)
%
% Example to input a file:
% \input workurl.tex
%
% Example vertical space, move down:
% \vspace{3pt} \\
%
% Example vertical space, move up:
% \vspace{-3pt} \\
%
% Example graphic:
% \rotatebox{0}{\scalebox{0.60}{\includegraphics*{something.eps}}}

% NOTES

% Note: I have inserted '\usepackage{pst-node}' which allows you to
% use the powerful PSTricks. If you don't have this package on your
% computer you will have to install it or remove the usepackage
% command.

% Thanks to Bill Purvis (bil@beeb.net, http://bil.members.beeb.net)
% for help with setting up A4 paper.

% Out of date since it works for both letter and A4 now:
% 
% If you use A4 paper, you can change the command \verticalcards,
% below, to have a value of 5 and you will get 10 copies per page.
%

% Determine the number of cards vertically
% You can set this to 5 for A4 paper to get 10 cards.
%\newcommand{\verticalcards}{4}

% This is now 5 per page:
