- 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.
