Please excuse my ignorance... I'm not a Postscript programmer...

Is it possible to scale what would be a page of output in a single direction,
i.e., print a page of graphics / text to a PostScript file and add the
appropriate PostScript commands to reduce / stretch that page by a specific
percentage on one axis?  Scaling the output within the application would *not*
be acceptable for my application.

If so, then *how* would one do it?

Thanks in advance --
