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.
0b5546d6 38% Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage.
