I would like to print some PostScript documents double-sidedly.
If there is a PostScript page-eject command, I'd guess there is a simple
awk or perl solution which can extract odd (or even) pages for me to
print.  Then of course I can restock my LaserWriter's feed tray and
print the opposite sides.
Since I know nothing of PostScript, I hoped some reader of this
newsgroup might be kind enough to provide a solution.

BTW, I do know that I can get odd/even from a dvi-file with dvi2ps.
Also, I did look for an FAQ posting, but didn't find one in this newsgroup.

Thank you,
ruck.
