Look for the program 'poster', use archie or xarchie to locate it. If
you can't find it I can mail you the sources (about 10K).

From the source code:

#
#  poster.c  -  a generic PS scaling program
#  This program outputs a PostScript page to a given size,
#  create tiles if necessary. Each tile will be 7.5" by 10" with crop marks.
#

I've made several 'door-posters' using poster.

Succes,
