I would like to find a utility which would print two pages of an
ascii file "up" or sideways on a standard piece of paper and then
print the next two pages and so on until all of the file printed
out.  I have seen and used utilities like this for laser printers,
but would like one for dot matrix.  

In the case of the utility for the laser, it uses line print font
at 16.66 pitch.  I assume that a dot matrix printer, if Epson [tm]
compatible would use a printer control code of \015.  However,
I have not found control codes which (1) put the page sides ways,
and (2) put two pages of text side by side in columns and then
do the next page with the next text and so on.

Thanks in advance for any sources.  I will post a consolidated reply
if there is interest.
