 Printing one page over multiple pages (inverse psnup)

I would like to print a (1 page) EPS file over multiple physical
pages to create a poster. I read the FAQ but it only describes the reverse
(psnup). I also took a look at the saleposter example in the blue book, but
the problem there is that you have to have a procedure to draw the picture.
I only have a postscript file and if I try to embed the entire file in a
procedure, I get a limitcheck error. The only alternative I see is to make
a tool that copies the file N-times and prepends a correct scale and translate
in front of each part. This seems to be a rather brute force method and would
increase the size of the file drastically.
Is there no better solution for this?

-Regards, Erik

Look for a program called "poster". It must be available somewhere on the
net.
