    There's a utility called BigPic which can combine two full-page APF
graphics into one large 640x400 picture.  It saves it in its own format
however, and it only displays them.  I haven't taken a good look at it yet,
but it looks really rough around the edges.

    I would like not only a utility that will create/view/store large APF
graphics, I want one that can use standard GS drivers to PRINT the pic.  Using
the LaserWriter driver, I can set reduction to 50% and get a very nice
greyscale rendition of a 640x480 GIF.
