Sorry ciro, but i like write tex code.
1. save following code as test.tex
in page-imp are some additional inclusion macros -)

Yes, i have seen some of them. I have a problem about stickers and imposition; i try to use/modify some of this macros for pagearrangement, but i consume all tex memory. Actually i have found a dirty solution using perl and sort; as soon as possible i will post some code.

Yes, syst-ext. and others syst-. I try to made a pdf-collection of useful module like syst-*, page-* core-box, supp-box, some module for fonts (open issue: turkish....), etc. (last entry: \startsetups in core-new..) In my head, i call this collection "context-foundation: core macros for context programmers" If you have some suggestions..... |) Also, i know some books/resources for tex programmers: (always The Book first :) ) texbytopic.pdf, cseq.html, The Advanced TEXBook (seem good; maybe i will buy it) etex-man.pdf Again, if you have some others... luigi

this is what taco/patrick call the api (so ... how about joining the api-team)

indeed, the more you tex, the more you find in it
texbytopic.pdf,
those are the ones that i use (although i haven't touched them for a long time now which may be a bad sign)
cseq.html,
that's indeed a nice one
The Advanced TEXBook (seem good; maybe i will buy it)
this is a g ood book as well; (david gave a nice few days course for the ntg long ago so i also have the preprint somewhere)
etex-man.pdf Again, if you have some others...

Ok, no code, only an example of the problem. Let S a pdf with 17 pages; let S(0) the first page, and S(16) the last page. Let T the "target pdf" with 8 box which each will cointain an S(j), j=0..16 I draw now a simple schema for an empty pages of T T(.) [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] After 'imposing' , T should be T(0) [S(0)] [S(3)] [S(6)] [S(9) ] [S(12)] [S(15)] [] [] T(1) [S(1)] [S(4)] [S(7)] [S(10)] [S(13)] [S(16)] [] [] T(2) [S(2)] [S(5)] [S(8)] [S(11)] [S(14)] [] [] [] I call it 'make a pile' . Now, once we have fixed the number of the box (8 in this examples), give S we want to make T. I'have some solutions that use perl/sort, but they are not nice.
indeed, the more you tex, the more you find in it
yes, but every time i touch it i think "i'm not ready now, maybe tomorrow....". Really. (and i don' want touch Metafont) luigi
