I know both writers asked for a direct reply, however, it seems to be a FAQ.

The psutils package does both of these.

psutils was posted by Angus Duggan (ajcd@dcs.ed.ac.uk) to comp.sources.misc.
It can be found in volume 22 of comp.sources.misc archives,
for instance on uunet.

On uunet, it is in directory /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume22/psutils, as
part01.Z and part02.Z, and, no doubt, is listed on archie.

There also exists a file /systems/ibmpc/msdos/simtel20/ventura/psutils.arc,
dated much earlier, that MAY be the same package, to run under DOS. I have not
checked - I pay for my news/mail/uucp.

An extract from the pstops man page follows :-

     DESCRIPTION
          Pstops rearranges pages from a PostScript document, creating
          a new PostScript file.  The input PostScript file should
          follow the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions.  Pstops
          can be used to perform a large number of arbitrary re-
          arrangements of Documents, including arranging for printing
          2-up, 4-up, booklets, reversing, selecting front or back
          sides of documents, scaling, etc.

Cheers,   Andy.
