Hi,

Try the psnup program and friends.

This will do exactly what you want (including the rotation for the  
double-sided printer at work) although it assumes a4 input. I assume  
you could remove the @0.7 parts (scaling), but please check the manpage  
(BTW these commands are part of your TeX distribution ;-):
	pstops -pa4 -q  
'4:0L@0.7(21cm,0)+1L@0.7(21cm,14.85cm),2R@0.7(0cm,29.7cm)+3r@0.7(0cm,14. 
85cm)'

It uses stdin and stdout as source and destination (but you can specify  
two files for in and out).

I figured the command out on linux, gv is you friend for these commands  
:-)

Regards,

Maarten
