That is truly amazing.  I don't think I will ever be using LaTeX again :)
The commands

   texexec --print=up --paper=A4A3 --pages=odd --result=temp-1 filename
and
   texexec --print=up --paper=A4A3 --pages=even --result=temp-2 filename

will even give me the odd and even pages so that I can do it in two passes
on my
single-sided printer :>

Now, why on earth didn't I ask this *before* I took the last document to to
the
printers?
