- The most convenient solution is:
- use the printer driver (the emTeX drivers have such an option)
- another solution should be to use DVIDVI
- but, of course, it would also be possible to do it with TeX:
- change the output routine to drop every 2nd page, and make two runs of TeX
- -- but that seems to be not the `right' solution in this case, isn't it?
