Does anyone know of a utility that allows you to separate odd/even pages
from each other in a postscript file?  Lots of documents are designed to
be printed two-sided, and it would be really cool to be able to split a
file "a.ps" into two files "b.ps" and "c.ps" such that "b.ps" contained
all odd pages of "a.ps", and "c.ps" all even pages, with the idea that
you would print out "b.ps", flip the paper over and stuff it back into
the printer, and print out "c.ps".

Does such a beast exist?  I really hate having to resort to using a
xerox machine to get two-sided printouts.
