These are two different things. The former can be done by macros in the -ms set, and the latter needs extra software. If you're using Postscript, "psnup" (recently appeared in comp.sources.misc) may do what you want. Psnup was recently posted in comp.sources.misc. You'd have to modify your print spooler to get psnup to work in your environment. -- Chris Lewis, Phone: (613) 832-0541, Internet: clewis@ferret.ocunix.on.ca UUCP: uunet!mitel!cunews!latour!ecicrl!clewis; Ferret Mailing List: (ferret-request@eci386); Psroff (not Adobe Transcript) enquiries: psroff-request@eci386, current patchlevel is *7*.
