One more note to add.  If you wish to recreate the address labels you got at USENIX there is a program to help you do this. At eng.ufl.edu there is pub/face_labels.tar.Z. This program makes 30 return-address labels to a page, ala Usenix.  All you need is your facesaver bitmap.  Instructions are included.

All thanks go to Bradley Spatz(bcs at eng.ufl.edu) and Brian Bartholomew(bb at ufl.edu).
