I have a rather large postscript document and would like to print
just a few pages of it.  The problem is that psrev, which is supposed
to extract pages, complains about the headers and trailers.  I know
next to nothing about postscript headers and trailers.  Here is how
the file begins.
---------------------------------------------------
%!PS (but not EPSF through switch or no memory)
%%Creator: dvips by Radical Eye Software
%%Pages: 136 1
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 612 792
/VMtrx 6 array currentmatrix def /dummystring 20 string def /pos 36 def /pnum{
----------------------------------------------------
and here is how it ends
---------------------------------------------------
%%EOF
---------------------------------------------------
Any ideas, anyone?  

Theo

P.S.  When I replaced the headers and trailers with something that psrev
did not complain about, I got a really scrambled printout.
