STORY: Written in the spring of 1993, this document was created to
help me manage the many, many printing jobs I was doing regarding
the 3.x NS dev docs.  This little puppy saved me many pages of
paper, and I got 2 sided print out of the deal.  Can't beat that,
save a tree and eat a beaver.

The PageMergeAndPrint.sense document does two things.  It allows
you to take .ps files and print alternating pages.  The limitation
is that the .ps file needs to have been produced from the "Save"
option in the Print Panel.  The second page of this utility document
allows you to "Merge" .ps files into one.  I have had 60-70% success
with it, and most of the time .ps files generated from Preview (ie.
saving from the Preview print panel) do NOT work.  So keep trying
and experimenting.  The rule of thumb is, if you can print to a
.ps file from your application, do so.  It will likely work to
merge such documents.

PS.  My opinions are that of me, myself and only mine.  Please do
not get confused and think I speak for someone else.
