Thats not something I've run into, I don't use the utility currently.

And I don't know as there is a resident postscript expert lounging 
about here on this list.  What little I know would indicate that a 
whole new page would have to be generated, not exactly a trivial task 
to a non-postscript guru.

However, take a look at the one used for dat tapes, it prints in a 
microscopic font, about 0.025" high.  Perhaps borrowing some of the 
font size control code from there, and transplanting it into the 
8.5x11.ps file, could be used to make your whole report fit on one 
page.  Depending on the printer of course but most of the ink 
squirters can print in excrutiatingly tiny fonts.  Either of mine 
could put that 8.5x11 sheets data on a label that will actually fit 
on one face of a dat casette holder.  You might need a magnifying 
glass to read it if your trifocals don't fit exactly right though so 
I'd approach the shrinkage incrementally as you probably don't need 
to go to quite that extreme to make it fit.  With a small enough 
font, you could also use the two column approach from that dat.ps 
file to advantage also.  :)

Post it when and if you have it tweaked to suit, there are probably 
others here who could benefit.  With my current number (49 & growing) 
of DLE's, I know I'd run over a single page for sure at std font 
sizes.
