I think you can set the scaling and page orientation in ghostscript so that the current single page requires multiple sheets to print. Also tell ghostscript that you only want the Nth page, or use other PS utilities to snatch the desired pages. Or you could do the same sort of thing using a GUI PDF viewer to print to file. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
