I couldn't find anything either, and wrote a Perl script to
do the job, learning a little postscript along the way. The
script takes eps images and puts them in the postscript output,

The database is pretty limited, with only Avery #5376 in it,
but it would be simple to define other entries. I guess 5371
is identical in layout anyway.
