- Thanks for the kind words!

- I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do,
- but I think you must have a "-m" switch anyway.
- The heading of dvidvi.c
- (FTP-ed from labrea.stanford.edu directory pub
- 13 January 1993),
- which I ported to the Mac (with essentially no changes),
- reads:
-
- * This program converts dvi files to dvi files;
- * the command line options are:
- *
- * page n is first page selected -f n
- * page n is last page selected -l n
- * print at most n pages -n n
- * include pages (ranges allowed) -i { n1..n2 | n1 }[,...]
- * exclude pages (ranges allowed) -x { n1..n2 | n1 }[,...]
- * work in quiet mode -q
- * reverse pages -r
- * select even -m 2:1
- * select odd -m 2:0
- * print both on same page -m 2:0,1(5.5in,0in)
- * do folded brochures -m 4:-3,0(5.5in,0in)
- * -m 4:1,-2(5.5in,0in)
- * etc.
-
- Not sure what that "etc" comprises!
