Hello!

I would like to be able to blow up a complicated drawing by printing
four quadrants of it on separate letter-size sheets and pasting them
together. Does anyone have a simple way of doing it? 

I have several programs that do the reverse operation (put two pages
of text on a single sheet), but they don't seem to be able to do the
reverse operation; the FAQ did not seem to contain this either.  I
expect that this may as simple as appending four simple coordinate
transformation before four copies of the original file, but I am not a
Postscript expert and before I write a filter to do it myself I thought
I'd ask if more knowledgeable folks did it before me.

	Thanks
