This is, if anything, a bug in the duplex header.  duplex.pro could
probably be changed to DTRT; I don't know if tex.pro would need to be
changed.

However, Athena Rules of Use say that the public printers should be
used to print only one copy of a document.  Since we all know that
everyone follows Athena rules of use, we can deduce that the -C option
is used only on meadow and departmental printers.  =)

Therefore, I don't think this is important enough to warrant my
spending time on fixing it.  [Hint: I'm currently taking Junior Lab.]

If anyone else comes up with a fix and convinces me that it won't
break anything else, I'll install it.

If anyone else comes up with a fix, and is really really sure that it
won't break anything else, and know how to install it properly, they
should.
