This is very dependent on the PS generating program, but I have success
with EPS documents.  The structure looks like

	%!
	prolog
	%%Page: NNN
	page
	%%Page: NNN+1
	page
	...

So I just use sed to REMOVE the portions I DON'T WANT to print. The prolog
must be left intact.

By the way I wish toolkit distributors wouldn't send out multi-megabyte
PS files. I only had to do this sort of trick because the job kept
jamming every 20 or 30 pages. A PS file per chapter would have made
life easier and other users in the queue less upset.
