NAME
     psselect - select pages from a PostScript file

SYNOPSIS
     psselect [ -q ] [ -e ] [ -o ] [ -r ] [ -ppages ] [ pages ] [
     infile [ outfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     Psselect selects pages from a PostScript document,  creating
     a new PostScript file. The input PostScript file should fol-
     low the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions.

     The -e option selects all of the even pages; it may be  used
     in  conjunction  with  the  other  page selection options to
     select the even pages from a range of pages.

     The -o option selects all of the odd pages; it may  be  used
     in conjunction with the other page selection options.

     The  -ppages  option  specifies  the  pages  which are to be
     selected.  Pages is a comma separated list of  page  ranges,
     each  of  which may be a page number, or a page range of the
     form first-last. If first is  omitted,  the  first  page  is
     assumed, and if last is omitted, the last page is assumed.

     The  prefix  character `_' indicates that the page number is
     relative to the end of the document, counting backwards.  If
     just  this  character  with  no page number is used, a blank
     page will be inserted.

     The -r option causes psselect to output the  selected  pages
     in reverse order.

     Psselect normally prints the page numbers of the pages rear-
     ranged; the -q option suppresses this.

     If any of the -r, -e, or -o options are specified, the  page
     range  must  be  given with the -p option. This is for back-
     wards compatibility with previous versions.
