	Hello!  I am totally unexperienced with postscript and I have
what I hope will be a simple question.
	I have postscript files of large schematics produced with
viewlogic software.  Our postscript printer is an Apple LaserWriter 2
which only prints out 8.5x11 inch sheets.  If I print out the
schematic it either comes out squished onto one page which is
impossible to read, or if I play with a scale line at the top of the
file (something like 2 2 scale) I can get part of the schematic to be
legabile, but the rest is clipped off of the page.
	Is there a good way to alter a postscript file so it will
print on several sheets which can then be taped togather.

	Thanks in advance,
			Richard Goldenberg
