	In trying to convert our site from Imagen based to Postscript
I have encountered the need for a postscript program which I beleive has
already been written.  Using the imprint command for the Imagen it is 
possible to print two pages of text onto one sheet of paper by compressing
the text size and placing them side by side on the paper in landscape mode.

	Is there something available which will allow me to print ascii text
to a postscript printer in this fashion????  I think that I could write 
such an animal but am not too excited about reinventing the wheel. 

	Any help would be greatly apprecieated!!!

Much Thanks--
	--tim
