Thanks, Ross. That works perfectly. Isn't on my slackware 14.0
linux box, but download/unzip/make took about five seconds.
To print one quadrant on each of four lettersize pages,
I had to generate a 15"x15" postscript image, i.e.,
%%BoundingBox: 0 0 1080 1080
(which the poster-generating program can fortunately
adjust easily), and then run
./poster -mLetter -s1 poster.ps > quadrants.ps
which isn't much extra trouble.
But I can't figure out how to get rid of those pesky
hash marks at each corner and Grid(1,1), etc on each page.
I see that
" (Grid \\( ) show\n"
" rowcount strg cvs show\n"
" ( , ) show\n"
" colcount strg cvs show\n"
" ( \\)) show\n"
in poster.c, and am guessing it's responsible.
But I barely know postscript, not well enough to remove it.
I tried a few times, but no joy. Must be easily doable,
I suppose, but apparently not easily enough for me :).
