# Takes a .dvi file as argument.  The .dvi file should contain 
# A5 sized pages.  Output are two .dvi files with A4, landscape 
# pages that can be printed on front and back.  Reshuffle pages 
# before stapling them!

# We don't use TeX page numbers, but real ones.

[ $# -gt 0 ] || { echo "No input .dvi file specified";  exit; }
[ -e $file -o -e $file.dvi ] || { echo "Input file $file not found";  exit; }
