+      Mpage reads plain text files or PostScript documents and prints
+      them on a PostScript printer with the text reduced in size so
+      that several pages appear on one sheet of paper.  This is useful
+      for viewing large printouts on a small amount of paper.  It uses
+      ISO 8859.1 to print 8-bit characters.
