Are there any publicly available programs that will take an ordinary
ascii/text file and reformat it, in PostScript, so that less paper is
wasted -- ie. smaller font, rearranging, 2/4/8 screens per page?

I got Mark P. Hahn's mpage via ftp, but it won't work, despite
numerous hacks. I don't know enough about the language yet, and I'm
sure such a utility would exist somewhere.
