Aside from dirty scripts, has anyone cleanly integrated the two using 
header files and hooks?
I had tried a simple config file which had

h multi.ps
h multi8.ps

in it (as well as the usual junk)

multi.ps was the pre blurb that is standard with Cartlidge's program
and multi8.ps was something like

userdict begin
/start-hook{true 2 4 true multi} def
/end-hook{endmulti} def
end


The header files come out before the usual dvips preamble and 
this approach didn't work too well.


I have tried psnup as a filter. That works reasonably (a slight bug), 
but is not set up for A4 paper. (Has anyone modified psnup for A4?)
