I compiled gs 8.30 and there is no psselect.  So it does not 'come with' 
the source code that I know of.  pdftops comes with xpdf.

I found a man page for psselect which refers to pstops (which I also don't 
have) and they come in psutils package.  psnup puts multiple pages on one 
sheet of paper and would be useful for printing my camera manual (all 
pages are 1/4 size printed at 300 dpi and came originally as a small 
booklet).

MANIFEST.gz for SW71 has a psutils.htm but not psselect itself.
Source code is at:
ftp://ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk/pub/ajcd/psutils.tar.gz
along with Win32 binaries.

There is an a2ps (ascii to ps?)

rpmfind has a version 1.17-13 (they are up to at least 1.25 now) for RH7.3
that needs glibc-2.1.3 and /usr/bin/perl  and rpmlib 4.0-1 (what is 
this?).  I tried rpm2targz and got 'short read' and only 86 bytes.
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat-archive/7.3/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/psutils-1.17-13.i386.rpm.

Slackware 9.1 and 10.0 have it.  Linuxpackages does not.

http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/os/i386/SRPMS/psutils-1.17-23.src.rpm. 
Application x-rpm.  70K.
rpm2targz .... gzip:  Short read.  What am I doing wrong?

Does this produce an output file or just display to screen?
