Frustrating, isn't it?  I wrote a page reverser specifically
for Microsoft Word -- and there's the rub.  Unless you are capable
of interpreting PostScript, you can't write a PostScript page
reverse which is generally useful -- you end up building one for
a particular application.  Building one for a particular application
is enough work that no one does it for free -- and no one is 
going to build a program that works for any arbitrary PostScript
program and give it away.
