NAME

       dvibook - rearrange pages in DVI file into signatures

SYNOPSIS

       dvibook [ -q ] [ -s<num> ] [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ] [ infile [ outfile ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Dvibook  rearranges  pages  from  a  DVI  file  produced by TeX into ``signatures'' for printing books or
       booklets, creating a new DVI file usable by any of the TeX conversion programs.

       The -s option selects the size of signature which will be used. The signature size is the number of sides
       which will be folded and bound together; the number given should be a multiple of four. The default is to
       use one signature for the whole file. Extra blank sides will be added if the  file  does  not  contain  a
       multiple of four pages.

       Dvibook normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the -q option suppresses this.

BUGS

       Dvibook  does  not  adjust the parameters in the postamble; however, since these values are normally used
       only to size certain structures in the output conversion programs, and the parameters never  need  to  be
       adjusted upward, this has not proven to be a problem.
