Package: pstotext
Version: 1.9-4
Severity: important

I attach a PostScript file on which pstotext is producing the pages in 
reverse order.  I think probably pstotext needs to pay attention to the 
whatefer comments in the PostScript header indicate that pages are reversed.
(Right now pstotext blindly emits pages in whatever order gs emits them.
This is the easy thing to do but not the right thing to do.  One hopes
there would be a relatively simple fix during pstotext's postprocessing step.) 

The viewer /usr/bin/gv from the package gv understands how to get
these pages in the right order.
