"quarto" is a filter that takes EPS PostScript files and:

    lists pages:   quarto -l file.ps
    reorder pages: quarto -p1,2,6-8 ...      select pages
                   quarto -p odd ...         print odd-numbered pages
                   quarto -r -p odd...         . . .   in reverse order        
    prints n-up:   quarto -2 ... | lpr       2 mini pages per sheet
                                             (N=2,3,4,6,8,9)
    signatures:    quarto -2 -S 8 ...        page order appropriate for 
                                             booklets of 8-sheet signatures

Someone had posted an older version to the archives.
This one fixes a bug involving nested PostScript documents,
and includes a basic option for printing books in signatures.
