NAME
     psselect - select pages from a PostScript file

SYNOPSIS
     psselect [ -q ] [ -e ] [ -o ] [ -r ] [ -ppages ] [ pages ] [
     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 to
     select the even pages from a range of pages.

     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 prefix character `' indicates that the page  number  is
     relative  to the end of the document, counting backwards. If
     just this character with no page number  is  used,  a  blank
     page will be inserted.

     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.

     If any of the -r, -e, or -o options are specified, the  page
     range  must  be  given with the -p option. This is for back-
     wards compatibility with previous versions.


NOTES
     The page number given to psselect is the number of the  page
     counting from the start or end of the file, starting at one.
     The actual page number in the document may be different.
