39 % The final reference card has six columns, three on each side.
40 % This file can be used to produce it in any of three ways:
41 % 1 column per page
42 % produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
43 % This gives the best resolution.
44 % 2 columns per page
45 % produces three already-reduced pages.
46 % You will still need to cut and paste.
47 % 3 columns per page
48 % produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a
49 % ready-to-use 8.5 x 11 inch reference card.
50 % For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.
51 % Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage above.
52 %
53 % To compile and print this document:

55 % dvips -t landscape refcard.dvi
