I am looking for a program that allows me to print 'posters' in tiles, i.e.:
a program that prints a page enlarged on a configurable number of sheets of
paper.
E.g. I want to print a page on four A4 pages (two rows and two columns) to
create an A2 sized printout.

So:

% print_poster  -rows n -columns m  PostScript_file

is basically what I want.
Preferably, the program should also be able to handle multiple pages in the
input file.
[The PostScript files in question are generated by FrameMaker 2.0 and
 TranScript 2.1.]

I could hack the PostScript files myself, but this is too much trouble and
anyway, someone else has certainly done this already.

Sincerely,
