Question Adding header once every 5 lines

Hi,

I need a help in creating a report file.
The input file is like this

1 A
2 B
3 V
4 X
5 m
6 O
7 X
8 p
9 a
10 X

There is a header which i have to print & save the result as a output file.
The header has multiple lines on is like say:
New New
S.No Name
(XX) (Y)
But i want the report file to be


New New
S.No Name
(XX) (Y)
1 A
2 B
3 V
4 X
5 m

---page break or a blank line----
New New
S.No Name
(XX) (Y)
6 O
7 X
8 p
9 a
10 X

Can this be possible using a SHELL SCRIPT?
I tried AWK & SED. but it helps inserting a single header, but i could find option to do this.
any pointers on this will be of great assistance.

Thanks

NAME
g3cat - concatenate multiple g3 documents SYNOPSIS
g3cat [-l] [-a] g3-file1 ... DESCRIPTION
g3cat concatenates g3 files. These can either be 'raw', that is, bitmaps packed according to the CCITT T.4 standard for one-dimensional bitmap encoding, or 'digifax' files, created by GNU's GhostScript package with the digifax drivers. Its output is a concatenation of all the input files, in raw G3 format, with two white lines in between. If a - is given as input file, stdin is used. If the input data is malformed, a warning is printed to stderr, and the output file will have a blank line at this place. OPTIONS
-l separate files with a one-pixel wide black line. -h <blank lines> specifies the number of blank lines g3cat should prepend to each page. Default is 0. -L <lines> limit lenght of output page to maximum <lines> lines. SPECIAL-CASE OPTIONS -w <width> specifies the desired page width in pixels per line. Default is 1728 PELs, and this is mandatory if you want to send the fax to a standard fax machine. If one of the input files doesn't match this line width (for example because it was created by a broken G3 creator), a warning is printed, and the line width is transparently fixed. -a byte-align the end-of-line codes (EOL) in the file. Every EOL will end at a byte boundary, that is, with a 01 byte. -p <pad> specifies a minimum number of bytes that each output line must be padded to. Padding is done with 0-bits before the EOL code. -R suppress output of end-of-page code (RTC). Example The following example will put a header line on a given g3 page, 'page1' and put the result into 'page2': echo '$header' | pbmtext | pbm2g3 | g3cat - page1 >page2 FILES
-- BUGS
Hopefully none :-). SEE ALSO
