Hello,
	I'm having a slight problem that is driving me up the wall.  I
have a file I'm printing, and instead of printing out all 33 pages to
make sure I did everything right, I want to just print out the first
three pages.  I run the file through latex and I get the .dvi file.  I
then run it through dvijep, which works well when printing *all* of
the pages, but I can't get it to print only the first three.  Here is
what it gives when I type "dvijep -"

/usr1/john/tex> dvijep -
[TeX82 DVI Translator Version 2.10]
[Hewlett-Packard LaserJet Plus laser printer]
Usage: dvijep {-a} {-b} {-c#} {-d#} {-eENVNAME=value} {-ffontsubfile} {-l} {-m#} {-o#:#:#} {-o#:#} {-o#} {-p} {-x#{units}} {-y#{units}} dvifile(s)
For documentation on this program, try the operating command(s):
man dvi
or
apropos dvi


dvijep: FATAL--option():  - is not a legal switch
Current TeX page counters: [0]

/usr1/john/tex>

	I then tried to do a man dvijep, but I couldn't get anything
out of man, it just don't exist at our site.  The man pages we *do*
have for dvi2ps have totally different options.  Can anyone help me
with this?  Specifically, I would like to know what all the above
options do in dvijep.  Is there a newer version of dvijep and where
could I get hold of it?

	I looked through both "The TeXbook" and "A document
preparation system, LaTeX" and neither had much to say on dvi
conversion programs.

	Another related problem/question.  I know there is a 'twoside'
document-style option and it is the default when using the 'book'
document-style.  Is there a way  to turn it off with a 'oneside'
option or should I just use the 'report' document style?

	Thanks for all of your help!  Please e-mail in preference to
reply to comp.text since I don't have the time to read this group all
that often.  And thanks to leslie lamport (thanks 2.432 e34 :-) for
LaTeX!
