Help save a tree.  Does there exist a tool which will take a PostScript
file as input and which will generate PostScript output which will print
every two pages on a single page, side-by-side, reduced, and turned
through 90 degrees?

I have some PostScript files that I would like to print in this manner,
but I only have the PostScript, not the input to whatever text formatter
produced them.  (If it matters, then guessing from their appearance,
they are likely TeX and troff, with a few drawings of unknown origin.)
The 'lpr' command for printing them (on a Unix system) doesnt give any
options for doing such a thing.

Please email me; I'll summarise if there's a demand.  I do read this
group, but news reception here is sometimes flaky.
