+REM Given a DVI file, this command file carries out some of the steps
+REM needed to produce an A5 booklet suitable for folding and stapling.
+REM It is assumed the user has set up a page format suitable for A5 paper.
+REM The fancy pagination is done by Tom Rokicki's DVIDVI program.
+REM Note that 148mm = A5 width = half A4 height.
+REM
+REM We assume that the following symbols have been defined:
+REM a5booklet :== @disk$utils:[utilities.tex.dvidvi]a5booklet
+REM dvidvi :== $disk$utils:[utilities.tex.dvidvi]dvidvi
+REM

+echo.
+echo.
+echo PART1.DVI and PART2.DVI have been created; each part contains the pages that
+echo must be printed on the same side of the paper. In both parts, each A4 page
+echo contains two side-by-side A5 pages from your original document.
+echo.
+echo To preview these DVI files you need to tell DVISCR to display each page
+echo in a landscaped orientation; for example:
+echo.
+echo $ dviscr part1
+echo.
+echo To create an A5 booklet suitable for folding and stapling, carry out the
+echo following steps (assuming you are using a LaserWriter):
+echo.
+echo 1. $ psprint /land /nobanner /notify part1
+echo 2. When this job has finished, take the output and put it back into
+echo the input cassette without changing the orientation in any way.
+echo 3. $ psprint /land part2
+echo 4. Depending on the number of pages, the final output may not be collated.
+echo You may need to change the placement of the bottom sheet(s).
+echo.
