# Usage:                                             #
#         1. Design a poster with Xfig.              #
#         2. Save it as a normal FIG file, with      #
#            the name, e.g., `myfile.fig'.     	     #
#         3. Substitute `BASE=myfile' for the line   #
#            `BASE=poster' in this script.	     #
#         4. Run this script within the directory    #
#            where `myfile.fig' lies.	             #
#         5. The output files will be:		     #
#            `myfile-a0.ps' - one poster-sized page  #
#            `myfile-a4-1.ps' - a4-sized mini-poster #
#            `myfile-a4-16.ps' - sixteen tile pages  #
