On a VAX with LPS40 printers there was an option on the print command to 
cause the printer to put multiple, shrunk-down page images on a single 
sheet of paper.  Can anyone tell me a general way to change a Postscript 
file, say from Interleaf, so I can get the same effect
on any printer?  Since the LPS40 could do this with any Postscript file, I'm
guessing that it's something I could add to the start of a normal Postscript
file or some way I could modify any Postscript file with, say, an awk script.
