26 % The final reference card has six columns, three on each side.
27 % This file can be used to produce it in any of three ways:
28 % 1 column per page
29 % produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
30 % This gives the best resolution.
31 % 2 columns per page
32 % produces three already-reduced pages.
33 % You will still need to cut and paste.
34 % 3 columns per page
35 % produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a
36 % ready-to-use 8.5 x 11 inch reference card.
37 % For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.
38 % Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage.
39 %
40 % To compile and print this document:
41 % tex refcard.tex
42 % dvips -t landscape refcard.dvi

44 % Thanks to Paul Rubin, Bob Chassell, Len Tower, and Richard Mlynarik
