I have noticed the features of the mp command (POSTSCRIPT pretty print)
to print pages that will fit into the Time Manager personal organiser
(option -tm) and Time/System International organiser (option -ts).
I want to print pages that will fit into my personal organiser as well,
but the problem is that I have a Time/System Partner personal organiser.
this one is a bit smaller than the other two, so I can't use mp as it is.

So I wonder if anyone have an idea that will solve my problem.
I see several opportunities: 

1) A new version of mp exists that can do this format.
   Where can I get it, or can you send it directly?

2) Another program exists that will do exactly what I want.
   Which one and where?

3) Hack the source of mp to fit the size of Time/System Partner.
   Where can I get it, and where/what to I rewrite to fix the
   size? I'm not a postscript hacker.

4) Use a WYSIWYG program to draw the pages.
   Unprofessional.

Any ideas?

The size of the Time/System Partner page:

            7.45 cm (2.94 inch)

The page should allow 0.7 cm (0.28 inch) left-tab for the holes.

All help is appreciated!
