	I know that this has come up before, but I couldn't find any mention of  
it in the FAQ on nova and couldn't remember what the resolution of the problem  
was. 
	I need to be able to print just the even or the odd pages of a long  
dvi file (so that I can Xerox double-sided copies) and this option does not  
seem to be available in dvips.  Is there a header file that I can load which  
will redefine the showpage command so that it only prints the even or odd  
pages?
	I am sure that this can be done, but I don't want to have to write the  
PostScript header myself if someone else has already done it.  If someone has  
done this, I would appreciate getting a copy of the header file that you use.

	Yours,

	Robert Bryant

Tom Rokicki has produced a program called dvi2dvi which will convert
the dvi-file appropriately. Get it from labrea.stanford.edu. 

Another good program which can do this directly on postscript output
is quarto -- available on sonata (and maybe orst).
