[ Question about printing wide file smaller ]

) 72 1000 div dup scale

This is the line to look at.  It sets the scale to 72/1000 72/1000 (because the
dup duplicates the result of 72 1000 div.)   Since, postscript does 72 points
per inch by default, this places 1000 points per inch (I think???).

Anyway, make the 1000 larger and the scale will be smaller (and thus more should
fit on the page.)

NOTE:	This a quick answer, and I did not test it.  If it does not work,
	it should at least help you along in the right direction.
