Les,
	you really think it is a good idea to to use gv to look for blank
pages (by visually scanning output?) and then converting the ps to
something more editable, removing the blank pages, converting again for
print, resubmitting the jobs ..... goodness gracious, what a perfect setup
for a bored masochist. the woman wants to *look* at files. maybe she
should be replaced by a small script?
julius

p.s. convering to / from ps tends to hit the processor hard.
