+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.sp
+.LP
+\fBpostdmd\fR translates DMD bitmap \fIfiles\fR, as produced by \fIdmdps\fR, or
+\fIfiles\fR written in the Ninth Edition \fBbitfile\fR(9.5) format into
+PostScript and writes the results on the standard output. If no \fIfiles\fR are
+specified, or if \(mi is one of the input \fIfiles\fR, the standard input is
+read.
+.SH OPTIONS

+Pack the bitmap in the output file using \fInum\fR byte patterns. A value of
+\fB0\fR turns off all packing of the output file. By default, \fInum\fR is
+\fB6\fR.

+Magnify each logical page by the factor \fInum\fR. Pages are scaled uniformly
+about the origin, which by default is located at the center of each page. The
+default magnification is \fB1.0\fR.

+Print \fInum\fR logical pages on each piece of paper, where \fInum\fR can be
+any positive integer. By default \fInum\fR is set to \fB1\fR.
+.RE

+\fB\fB-o\fR\fI list\fR\fR

+.RS 11n
+.rt
+Print pages whose numbers are given in the comma-separated \fIlist\fR. The list
+contains single numbers \fIN\fR and ranges \fIN1 \fR\(mi \fIN2\fR. A missing
+\fIN1\fR means the lowest numbered page, a missing \fIN2\fR means the highest.
+The page range is an expression of logical pages rather than physical sheets of
+paper. For example, if you are printing two logical pages to a sheet, and you
+specified a range of \fB4\fR, then two sheets of paper would print, containing
+four page layouts. If you specified a page range of \fB3-4\fR, when requesting
+two logical pages to a sheet; then \fIonly\fR page 3 and page 4 layouts would
+print, and they would appear on one physical sheet of paper.

+Translate the origin \fInum\fR inches along the positive x axis. The default
+coordinate system has the origin fixed at the center of the page, with positive
+x to the right and positive y up the page. Positive \fInum\fR moves everything
+right. The default offset is \fB0\fR inches.

+.LP
+Only one bitmap is printed on each logical page, and each of the input
+\fIfiles\fR must contain complete descriptions of at least one bitmap.
+Decreasing the pattern size using the \fB-b\fR option may help throughput on
+printers with fast processors (such as PS-810s), while increasing the pattern
+size will often be the right move on older models (such as PS-800s).
