[plug] Using psnup

[David Buddrige]

Hi all, 

I have a postscript file that I want to convert so that each A4 sheet has 2 
pages on it  - each A5 sized and side by side. 

To do this, I am trying to use psnup command to convert the file. 

The command I am using is this: 

psnup -pa4 -2 kde.ps > kde2.ps 

However when I run this command, I get the following: 

Wrote 0 pages, 3049016 bytes 

And if I try to use ghostscript to view the postscript file, I get the 
following error: 

[buddrid at mit243linux ]$ ghostscript kde2.ps

I can view the kde.ps file fine with ghostscript, so this (seems) to rule 
out some kind of corruption in the postscript (although I could be wrong 
about that... can anyone enlighten me as to what the problem is? 

thanks heaps in advance. 8-) 

David.
