NAME
     psselect - select pages from a PostScript file

SYNOPSIS
     psselect [ -q ] [ -e ] [ -o ] [ -r ] [ -ppages ] [ infile [
     outfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     Psselect selects pages from a PostScript document, creating
     a new PostScript file. The input PostScript file should fol-
     low 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.

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

     Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages rear-
     ranged; the -q option suppresses this.

NOTES
     Psselect selects pages in the order that they appear in the
     file, starting from one. The actual page number in the docu-
     ment may be different.
