> Depending on wordlength and paragraphlength a multi-column layout

sometimes saves paper space (though the likelihood for a word to be broken

increases, on the other hand the space used by incomplete lines at the end
|
|
of paragraphs decreases). This doesn't save very much paper, but may fit

2.1 pages in 2.0, therefore with the use of <B

is a small utility to be used in conjunction with pstops. It looks at
|
|
the contents of a postscript document to determine the size of the printed
|
|
pages. From this, it calculates the optimal placement of the pages for n-up
|
|
printing. It outputs a format string suitable for processing by pstops.
