Make postscipt files use less pages?
Dear all, Is it possible to make postscipt files print out with two postscript pages fitting onto one physical page (or is there an option in ghostview for this?), please? 350 pages of hurd manual could do with being shrunk before I use _all_ my paper up Thanks, Matthew -- Elen sila lumenn' omentielvo Steward of the Cambridge Tolkien Society Selwyn College Computer Support http://www.cam.ac.uk/CambUniv/Societies/tolkien/ http://pick.sel.cam.ac.uk/ Debian GNU/Hurd - love at first byte

With combinations of the above I have scripts that Allow any file (ps, gz,etc) to print as 1 page, 2 pages 1 side, 2 pages both sides, 4 pages one side and 4 pages - both sides ( Man pages look great this way). I have never cleaned them up (the scripts) so won't post them but if anyone wants I will e-mail them. -- ___ Wayne T. Topa [EMAIL PROTECTED]
