So after inspecting the `info dvips` I'd say: you're Allan> screwed. Why? The info page says: `-p [=]NUM' The first page printed will be the first one numbered NUM. Default is the first page in the document. If NUM is prefixed by an equals sign, then it (and the argument to the `-l' option, if specified) is treated as a physical (absolute) page number, rather than a value to compare with the TeX `\count0' values stored in the DVI file. Thus, using `-p =3' will start with the third page of the document, no matter what the pages are actually numbered. So all we would have to do is allow this =n syntax. JMarc
