StripPS v1.0 24 July 1991
Windows utility for stripping ^D and other unwanted characters
from PostScript files.
Copyright (c) Andrew Fountain 1991
This program may be freely distributed.
Function:
StripPS removes any control-D characters from the start and end of
the file. Some Unix print spoolers have trouble if there is anything
other than %!PS on the first line, so the comments on the rest of the
line are removed. Some programs put CR's without LF's into the
PostScript. This can also cause trouble in UNIX, so LF's are added to
isolated CR's. However, if the file contains binary information such
as 8-bit fonts, then this insertion of LF's is supressed since it
might foul up the binary. The program reports exactly what it has done.
Usage:
Can be run interactively or from the command line:
stripps [<source-filename> [ <destination-filename> ] ]
If only one filename is supplied, or the two are the same, then the
result is put back in the original file.
If no filenames are supplied then the program is run interactively
and the user is prompted for source and destination files. The
default destination is the same as the source.
Version 1.0 of this program requires the Windows common library
WINCOM.DLL to be present on the path.
