dvibook - rearrange pages in DVI file into signatures
dvibook
[ -q ] [ -s<num> ] [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ] [ infile [ outfile ] ]
Dvibook rearranges pages from a DVI file produced by TeX into ``signatures''
for printing books or booklets, creating a new DVI file usable by any
of the TeX conversion programs.
The -s option selects the size of signature
which will be used. The signature size is the number of sides which will
be folded and bound together; the number given should be a multiple of
four. The default is to use one signature for the whole file. Extra blank
sides will be added if the file does not contain a multiple of four pages.
Dvibook normally prints the page numbers of the pages rearranged; the
-q option suppresses this.

The TeXbook Dvibook does not adjust the parameters in the postamble; however,
since these values are normally used only to size certain structures in
the output conversion programs, and the parameters never need to be adjusted
upward, this has not proven to be a problem.
