arranging: Four pages on one

arranging: Four pages on one

[Johannes Hüsing]

Greetings,

is it possible to get a \setuparranging-like switch which allows me to
place four landscape-oriented pages all in their original orientation,
ie. without turning over or reflecting any page?

Looking at the source I presume I have to define a \pusharrangedpageFOURC
put I haven't worked out yet how to do it right.

Regards

Johannes

Just about, except that I would like the destination papersize to be
A2 landscape and not A4 portrait, and thus keep the pages at their 
original size.

--format=a2 doesn't work.

\setuparranging[2*2] sets up a different arranging, as described in MAPS 20.

some options accept --paper

alternatively, peek into the generated texexec.tex, copy it, edit it and ...

right, not that hard to extend, if you can explain in detail what is needed

actually, willy can do it (has done it before)
