There have been several more requests lately for "N-up"
PostScript filters, so I've (re)deposited "quarto" to
pub/next/submissions on sonata.cc.purdue.edu and cs.orst.edu.
This probably isn't as fancy as the psutils, but it is
probably simpler to use. The README file:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"quarto" is a filter that takes EPS PostScript files and:
lists pages: quarto -l file.ps
reorder pages: quarto -p1,2,6-8 ... select pages
quarto -p odd ... print odd-numbered pages
quarto -r -p odd... . . . in reverse order
prints n-up: quarto -2 ... | lpr 2 mini pages per sheet
(N=2,3,4,6,8,9)
signatures: quarto -2 -S 8 ... page order appropriate for
books of 8-sheet signatures
Someone had placed an older version on the archives.
This one fixes a bug involving nested PostScript documents,
and includes an option for printing books in signatures.
