Psfix: Massage PostScript output from programs such as Windows and
Word Perfect to help make journeys through various computers
in a printable state.
Use: psfix [options] filelist outext
where outext is the extension for output files. Output file names are
a concatenation of the input file name (minus extension) and outext.
For example, "psfix foo.ps pps" will produce the output file foo.pps.
Options can go anywhere on the command line, but outext must follow
the file list. Full DOS path specification is supported for input
files. Output files appear in the current working directory. You'll
be prompted if you try to clobber existing output files.
Options:
-D Leave control-D's intact (default = strip all ^D characters)
-nnn Desired output line length (default = 80)
Example: psfix -255 c:/foo/*.ps pps -D
Psfix performs the following actions:
* Lines are broken to nnn bytes or less, at an appropriate place
to preserve valid PostScript commands.
* Inline comments are stripped.
* Control-D's are stripped (optional)
* Lone carriage returns are replaced by CR+LF.
* Tabs are replaced by a space.
Please direct comments, gripes, suggestions, etc. to

I'm not a PostScript expert, so if you have any pointers on PostScript
usage that psfix should be aware of, please give a holler.
