Actually replying to 'kmself': yeah, mpage doesn't always work very well. I had the very same problem and it has been recommended to me that I use a different program, "psnup". The main difference, other than psnup working *much* better, is that you cannot convert text to PS using psnup; not a big loss, you can always do that with mpage then. -- Maciej Kalisiak [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac
