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  std-
              out

       -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  pro-
              logue  (fixnt)  -  Fix  Windows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue
              (fixnt) - Fix Windows 95 prologue - Ensure there is
              a  `%%BeginSetup/%%EndSetup' section - Removes Can-
              vas' 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.
