On my PC in Belgium that works fine, here on my NT machine somehow I need
to give the full path to perl and the texexec.pl file before it runs but I
do that through a batchfile. To be honest I haven't taken the time to find
out how I can just call texexec here.

The result looks splendid though, including the marks where to cut. Thanks!
For the badges the sizes would need to be adjusted, e.g. I would need only
a hairline cross where to cut the 3x8 labels apart.

Are you sure it would be "texexec.pdf"? I don't get such a file and in this
example my badges are almost A4 in size each ;=}}

No hurry here since the badges are now printed and cut and inserted in
their plastic/safety pin arrangement ;=}}

Groet!
