22 !!DESCRIPTION
23
24
2 perry 25 ''Psselect'' selects pages from a !PostScript document,
26 creating a new !PostScript file. The input !PostScript file
1 perry 27 should follow the Adobe Document Structuring
28 Conventions.

31 The ''-e'' option selects all of the even pages; it may
32 be used in conjunction with the other page selection options
33 to select the even pages from a range of pages.
34
35
36 The ''-o'' option selects all of the odd pages; it may be
37 used in conjunction with the other page selection
38 options.
39
40
41 The ''-ppages'' option specifies the pages which are to
42 be selected. ''Pages'' is a comma separated list of page
43 ranges, each of which may be a page number, or a page range
44 of the form ''first''-''last''. If ''first'' is
45 omitted, the first page is assumed, and if ''last'' is
46 omitted, the last page is assumed.
47
48
49 The prefix character `_' indicates that the page number is
50 relative to the end of the document, counting backwards. If
51 just this character with no page number is used, a blank
52 page will be inserted.
53
54
55 The ''-r'' option causes ''psselect'' to output the
56 selected pages in reverse order.
57
58
59 Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages
60 rearranged; the ''-q'' option suppresses
61 this.
62
63
64 If any of the ''-r, -e,'' or ''-o'' options are
65 specified, the page range must be given with the ''-p''
66 option. This is for backwards compatibility with previous
67 versions.
68 !!NOTES
69
70
71 The page number given to ''psselect'' is the number of
72 the page counting from the start or end of the file,
73 starting at one. The actual page number in the document may
74 be different.
