+PostScript Utilities
+
+Web site: https://github.com/rrthomas/psutils
+Maintainer: Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>
+
+PSUtils is a suite of utilities for manipulating PostScript documents
+produced according to the Document Structuring Conventions (some older
+software may need to be configured to produce DSC-conformant
+PostScript; if PSUtils doesn't work, check your documentation). It is
+possible to select and rearrange pages, including arrangement into
+signatures for booklet printing, and page merging for n-up printing.
+
+PSUtils should work in any POSIX environment with libpaper (support on
+non-POSIX systems may be provided by gnulib).
+
+libpaper: http://packages.qa.debian.org/libp/libpaper.html
+Ghostscript: http://www.ghostscript.com/
+
+
+PROGRAMS
+
+psbook rearrange pages into signatures
+psselect select pages and page ranges
+pstops perform general page rearrangement and selection
+psnup put multiple pages on to one page
+psresize alter document paper size
+epsffit fit an EPSF file to a given bounding box
+extractres filter to extract resources from PostScript files
+includeres filter to include resources into PostScript files
+psjoin concatenate multiple PostScript files
+
+psselect in modeled on Chris Torek's dviselect, as is psbook, via
+Angus Duggan's dvibook; pstops is modeled on Tom Rokicki's dvidvi.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+
+To build, you need the following programs installed, as well as a
+standard POSIX environment and C compiler:
+
+ automake, autoconf, git, perl
+
+Then run:
+
+./bootstrap && ./configure && make && [sudo] make install
+
+For installation options, see ./configure --help
+
+
+BUGS
+
+The utilities don't check for PS-Adobe-?.? conformance; they assume documents
+conform.
+
+Please send bug reports, patches and suggestions to the bug tracker or
+maintainer (see the top of this file).
