Hi everyone,

I was asked how to print several Postscript pages on one page.
For this there exists a little tool called "pstops".
Unfortuanatly it is not installed on the workstations.

But you can find it in my homedirectory.
make a copy with the command
  cp /s/chopin/a/grad/koepping/bin/pstops <your destination>
(this is a SUN binary!)
I also have written two common applications of it, copy them with
  cp /s/chopin/a/grad/koepping/bin/ps2on1 <your destination>
  cp /s/chopin/a/grad/koepping/bin/ps4on1 <your destination>
These two scripts put 2 or 4 pages on one page. 
The utility does not work always, so before printing a converted
document, 
view it with ghostview (gv).

Copy the manpage to pstops with
  cp /s/chopin/a/grad/koepping/pstops.1 <your destination>

Thats it.

Save pages!

Uli
