I didn't want to start another new thread on TEX so I put this here

I have a couple of questions about DVI files and DJGPP tools

Can I print 4-up ?  I print all my docs into little 32 page booklets ready
to sew into a binding.  I used only 27 A4 sheets to print djgppfaq.txt .
HandyPrint98 does this in Windows but it shares Windows' penchant for
cropping the last few characters on an RTF line, so my allegro.rtf is
unreadable in places.  My Olivetti JP190 inkjet will emulate a Deskjet or
use PCL-3.

Can I do diagrams ?  I have ruled boxes with text in them, and then arrows
and lines connecting those boxes.
Can I define these as TEX macros so they can live in texinfo files?

Is there any other format which will let me send viewable diagrams to
Allegro developers running Linux?
