I have a large .ps file I want to break up into "chapters" and put in
DL.  I find I can load the file into preview and use the print & save
commands to save pieces.  However, when I try to load anything but the
first piece I get an error message that the page numbers are out of
order.  The header seems to be duplicated for each piece so I can't see
why I can't read them.

If anybody knows, (1) how can I modify the header for each piece so I can
bring it up in preview, or (2) what other tool can I use to split this
file?
