Thanks to Dave Yost for clarifying my message. My message could
have been interpreted to support the kind of dodgy practices he
mentions.
Here is some code from our ditroff to postscript translator which
deals with the problem. I hope it meets with your approval...
/page {showpage restore save newpage} bind def
/dorestore
{
currentpoint vpgn
4 -1 roll
{ 4 -1 roll restore } repeat
} bind def
/dosave
{
{ save 4 1 roll } repeat
/vpgn exch def
newpage moveto
} bind def
newpath
save save
newpage
