3 Installing and using DviDvi with DviPS

Installation isn't very hard: Just copy the program to a place contained in your search-path.

Note that you don't need the parameters `-sm', `-sw' and `sh' with DviPS: The document-width and -height are simply ignored by Dvips and the magnification can be changed with the -x parameter.

A little example might help, which prints a DVI file with two pages per sheet of paper:

       `dvidvi -m 2:0,1(7.3,0.0) infile.dvi outfile.dvi'

       `dvips -x 694 outfile.dvi'

Note that the `-x'-parameter divides the magnification by magstep(2), because 694 equals to 1000 divided by 1.44 (magstep(2)).
