NAME
    fixps - sanitize PostScript files

SYNOPSIS
    fixps [OPTIONS] FILE

DESCRIPTION
    Try to fix common PostScript problems that break postprocessing.

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 Windows NT 3.5/4.0 prologue (fixnt) - Fix
    Windows 95 prologue - Ensure there is a `%%BeginSetup/%%End-
    Setup' 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.
