I have recovered a long time ago, in mod.computers.laser-printers (yes
in '86), that would perform the transformation A4 -> A5.  It was
written by William Roberts (liam@cs.qmc.ac.uk).  Here's a extract from
its README:

    2xA4        - puts two logical sheets on each physical
                  sheet, rotated 90 degrees and reduced by a
                  factor of sqrt(2) (i.e. A4 -> A5).

I finally tried it and it fails due to a bad 2xA4.prologue.ps file:
invalid use of astore.  Has this code been updated or does there exist
anything better?

Thanks in advance,
