This simple c programs poster is a generic PS scaling program,
just 'sh' this file, and compile poster.c with 'cc -O -c poster.c -o poster'.

Have fun,

Poster - a generic PS scaling program
X
Known restrictions:
1. It only works with one-pager.  Don't try multiple page document with this.
2. Always produce 7.5"x10" tiles with crop marks and grid # at lower right.
3. Won't best fit to use minimum number of tiles by intellegent rotation.  
X   (Enhancements are welcome, make sure you debug it before sending your fix 
X   to me! )
4. It treats Landscape mode page the same way as Portrait page.  The printing
X   is okay, but the width/height specification and grid numbering is rotated.
X   (use it on a Landscape page and look at the grid #, you'll see what I mean)
5. It uses brute force, it outputs the whole file once for each tile produced.
X   If you're printing a 1/4 Megabyte PS file on 4 tiles, you are creating a
X   file over one megabyte in size and takes 4 times as long to print.
6. If no BoundingBox info is found, assumes 0 0 612 792.  Will not look for
X   BoundingBox info beyond the first %%EndComments line (try to prevent getting
X   the wrong one from other imbedded images.)
7. Only leave 1/2" inch border.  If you need extra spacing around the image,
X   you should alter the BoundingBox info yourself.
8. Works well with all my PS images.  Yours?  Good luck! :-)
X
Compilation:
X	cc -o poster poster.c
X
Usage:
X	poster ps-file width height [ row col ]
X
X	ps-file is your well behaving PS program.
X	width and height is the output dimension expressed in inches.
X		Since the tiles are 7.5"x10", using 15 20 will usually
X		produces 2x2 (4) tiles.  Depends on the aspect ratio
X		of the BoundingBox, unneeded tiles will not be output.
X		The program will fit the image in the area specified
X		without altering the aspect ratio.  Hence using 15 10000
X		means you don't care about the height.  It will create
X		as many tiles as needed to fit the width.  
X	row and col is the grid that you want to output.  If not specified,
X	all tiles are output in the same stream.  This is useful in case
X	some tiles are demaged by paper jam.  Also if your PS program is
X	big and sending it out multiple times in one job is impossible,
X	then you can use a loop to output the tiles in separate jobs, e.g.
X
X		foreach i (1 2 3 4)
X			foreach j (1 2 3 4)
X				poster ps-file 30 40 $i $j | lpr -Pps
X			end
X		end
X
X	will print all 16 tiles (30"x40" output) to the printer.
X
Advice:
1	print the poster only at off hours.  
2	Enough overlapping of image is produced to assist easy fitting.
3	Paste every other tiles together in a "checker-board" manner (leave
X	the borders intact, only cut out the corners near the crop marks) 
X	and then clip the rest of the tiles along the crop marks and then paste 
X	the tiles on the "checker-board".  The borders that you left behind in 
X	the previous step now provide nice backing for the rest of the tiles.
