Hi all!

I'm looking for the possiblity to print two pages of text onto one page
of paper because in draft versions of papers this will save 50% of paper
pages. I'am using the dvips from Radical Eye Software and there is
no option (or I Don't see it) for doing such a thing.
There are some filters out (e.g. pshalf) that do this kind of work but
these filters redefine the postscript 'showpage' command and this
doesn't work with dvips because dvips redefines 'showpage' too.
BTW I don't want to achive the goal by using a multicolumn environment,
everthing should be done one the basis of the dvi-file, not the source
file.

Thanks in advance

Joachim
