  The "transcript" package that comes from Adobe includes a program called
"psrev" that can do this with any PostScript file that conforms to the
PostScript file structuring conventions (i.e. comments to denote page endings
and beginnings, pages being printable on their own, stuff like that).

  If you don't have transcript, I suspect you could write a program to do what
psrev does after spending a little bit of time dwelling on the conventions;
one of the PostScript books (The Red, Blue or Green book) probably discusses
the conventions, although I don't know about that for sure.
