I usually use the geometry package for setting up the pages just the
way I want -- dimensions, portrait/landscape, left/right, etc.  It's
got built-in support for passing \special commands through dvips with
the "dvips" option.

Then, if needed, I'll use dvidvi or pstops to rearrange the pages into
multiple-up sets.  The latter is better for documents with graphics,
as they wouldn't be included in the .dvi file.
