Isn't that the opposite way round from what he wants
(namely, enlarge a single PDF/PS page to twice the size,
or rather sqrt(2), and print each half on two separate
sheets)?

psnup -2 will shrink the size by sqrt(2), and print
two pages side by side on the same sheet.

(Adam Allen's ecript looks interesting, though -- I'll
have to have a look at that!)

Best wishes,
Ted.
