I've tried the poster.c program that was posted here previously,
and it's fine in what it does, but I've got a reverse problem
that I'm hoping to solve.  We've got a Laserjet II NTX, which gives
us a 8" x 10 1/2" printing area, and I produce drawings that are
30" x 42".  I'd like to be able to take a drawing, and have the
printer break it into tiles like poster, but have the tile move about
the drawing rather than have the drawing enlarged from a small 
area.  

Any hints ?

The important things for me would be keeping the original scale,
and line thickness, and taping it together for in house quality 
checking, before we send it out for the final printing.  It would
save us thirty bucks a plot!
