NAME
     fixps - sanitize PostScript files

SYNOPSIS
     fixps [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
     Try to fix common PostScript problems  that  break  postpro-
     cessing.

OPTIONS
     -h, --help
          display this help and exit

     -v, --version
          display version information and exit

     -q, --quiet
          don't print informational messages

     -o, --output=FILE
          save result in FILE.  If FILE is `-', send to stdout

     -f, --force
          force full rewrite by ghostscript

     -n, --no-fix
          don't fix the FILE, but still honor `-o'

     -c, --check, --dry-run
          don't perform any action

  Fixes:
          - Remove junk before and after PostScript content - Use
          only  Unix end of lines (\n) - Remove empty lines - Fix
          Apple prologue (fixmacps)  -  Fix  FrameMaker  prologue
          (fixfmps)  -  Fix CorelDraw prologue (fixnt) - Fix Win-
          dows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue (fixnt) - Fix Windows 95  pro-
          logue  -  Ensure  there  is a `%%BeginSetup/%%EndSetup'
          section - Removes Canvas' extraneaous  `%%EndDocument:'
          comments - Split too long lines

     If the FILE seems really in a bad state, ghostscript may  be
     used  to  perform  a full rewrite.  The output might then be
     significantly bigger, but much safer.
