The _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t program allows pages from a PostScript document to be
extracted into a new PostScript document. Pages may be selected according
to a number of criteria and the selected pages may be output in reverse
order. In order for _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t to properly function, the input PostScript
document must conform to the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions (DSC)
revision 1.0 or higher.
If iiiinnnnffffiiiilllleeee is not specified, _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t will read input from the standard
input. Similarly, if oooouuuuttttffffiiiilllleeee is not specified, the program will write its
output to the standard output.
If _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t is specified with no options, it simply copies its standard
input to standard output.
----eeee The -_e option selects only even pages for output.
----oooo The -_o option selects only odd pages for output.
----pppp_p_a_g_e_s The -_p option specifies which page numbers are to be output.
_p_a_g_e_s is a comma separated list of page number ranges. A page
range has the form _f_i_r_s_t-_l_a_s_t. The following examples
demonstrate how various page ranges may be specified:
-p1-5 Select pages 1 thru 5 inclusive
-p1,5,3 Select pages 1, 3 and 5
-p-5 Select pages 1 through 5
-p5- Select pages 5 thru the end of the document
Note that there is no space between the switch and its
argument.
----rrrr Specifies that the selected pages should be output in reverse
order.
----hhhh Prints a program usage message to the standard error. This
usage message also lists the currently supported output
configurations.
----DDDD Specifies verbose output for debugging purposes.

NOTES
1. _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t selects pages in the order that they appear in the input
file. The program assumes that the first page encountered is page
one. This may differ from the actual page ordering of the document.
2. The ----eeee, ----oooo, and ----pppp switches may be used in combination. For
example, specifying the switch ----pppp2222----7777 and ----eeee will select all even
numbered pages between two and seven (i.e. 2, 4, and 6). If both the
----eeee and ----oooo switches are specified, all pages within the specified
page range will be selected.
3. If _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t is given an unrecognized or incomplete command line
option switch, it will print a warning message to the standard
error, ignore the option and continue processing.
4. Certain processing options require that _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t create a temporary
copy of the input file. This temporary file will be created in the
directory specified by the TTTTMMMMPPPPDDDDIIIIRRRR environment variable. If that
variable is not set, the temporary file will be created in /_v_a_r/_t_m_p.
There must be sufficient free space in the temporary file directory
to store a complete copy of the input file or _p_s_s_e_l_e_c_t will fail.
