Hm. I can't help with mpage, I'm afraid. As a workaround, have you tried psnup (from the psutils package)? Of course, you'll have to cause the PostScript file to contain its original self twice, perhaps using psmerge. Sorry if a workaround wasn't what you were after.

It should be fixed now.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
