Name: psutils - Tools for manipulating PostScript files

Version: 1.17

Author(s): Angus Duggan <angus@harlequin.co.uk>

Description:

    This archive contains some utilities for manipulating PostScript
    documents. Page selection and rearrangement are supported,
    including arrangement into signatures for booklet printing, and
    page merging for n-up printing. 
    
    PROGRAMS
    
    psbook      rearranges pages into signatures
    psselect    selects pages and page ranges
    pstops      performs general page rearrangement and selection
    psnup       put multiple pages per physical sheet of paper
    psresize    alter document paper size
    epsffit     fits an EPSF file to a given bounding box

    psselect is modeled after Chris Torek's dviselect program, and
    pstops is modeled after Tom Rokicki's dvidvi program. psbook is
    modeled on my own dvibook program, which borrows heavily from
    Chris Torek's dviselect.
