!!NAME


psselect - select pages from a PostScript file
!!SYNOPSIS


__psselect__ [[ __-q__ ] [[ __-e__ ] [[ __-o__ ] [[
__-r__ ] [[ __-p__''pages'' ] [[ ''pages'' ] [[
''infile'' [[ ''outfile'' ] ]
!!DESCRIPTION


''Psselect'' selects pages from a PostScript document,
creating a new PostScript file. The input PostScript file
should follow the Adobe Document Structuring
Conventions.


The ''-e'' option selects all of the even pages; it may
be used in conjunction with the other page selection options
to select the even pages from a range of pages.


The ''-o'' option selects all of the odd pages; it may be
used in conjunction with the other page selection
options.


The ''-ppages'' option specifies the pages which are to
be selected. ''Pages'' is a comma separated list of page
ranges, each of which may be a page number, or a page range
of the form ''first''-''last''. If ''first'' is
omitted, the first page is assumed, and if ''last'' is
omitted, the last page is assumed.


The prefix character `_' indicates that the page number is
relative to the end of the document, counting backwards. If
just this character with no page number is used, a blank
page will be inserted.


The ''-r'' option causes ''psselect'' to output the
selected pages in reverse order.


Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages
rearranged; the ''-q'' option suppresses
this.


If any of the ''-r, -e,'' or ''-o'' options are
specified, the page range must be given with the ''-p''
option. This is for backwards compatibility with previous
versions.
!!NOTES


The page number given to ''psselect'' is the number of
the page counting from the start or end of the file,
starting at one. The actual page number in the document may
be different.
