I did this already with:

for i in *.jpg do ; convert $i $i.ps ; done

this works fin;

and now a

mpage -bA4 -4 *.ps > /tmp/all.ps

gives a 10 page PS file, each page divided by fine lines into 4 sub
pages; but on any of the 10 pages one of the slides is put into the
upper left sub page area; what I'm missing?

the man page of mpage says "... with the text reduced in size so that
several pages appear on one sheet of paper..."; it seems it does work
with images, or?
