the command "poster"

i just found out, that archlinux is missing the command "poster" ... it's the command that takes EPS and makes big-size poster PS out of it (for printing in big formats)

i had this command on my linux esprit on the old pentium 90 (it's MHz and not GHz) but didn't used it for now about 4 years

do anybody know where this command is located? what pkg? what piece of software?

thx in advance

Re: the command "poster"

You mean this?
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/5682/poster.html
(note: I know nothing about making posters from eps :-) I've just searched the net...)

I don't know if it's part of any package or if it has its own package but it should be easy to do it.
You can follow this gentoo ebuild for example:
http://gentoo-portage.com/net-print/poster

Historical note:

This marks the very first time that dp was unable to find a link in his collection of bookmarks, dmoz search, or google. This day will one day be mourned by thousands as "the day dp lost his touch".
