[comp.text.tex] DVIPS and multiple logical pages

jordan@unix.cis.pitt.edu (Kenneth D Jordan) (01/29/91)

     This question concerns something which is probably trivial, but the
solution has so far eluded me.

     When using DVIDVI to place two logical pages on one (landscape)
physical page which is to be processed by DVIPS, how does one scale the
logical pages so that they don't meet in the center of the page?

     DVIDVI seems to have mandatory 1-inch left and right margins which
cannot be overridden by command line offsets.  Is this really true?

     My specific problem is that I have several DVI files for which I
do not have the corresponding LaTeX inputs.  One of these expects A4
paper, so my requirements for positioning and scaling are especially acute.
