Here's the story:

First off, Windows puts a ^D at the start of a file, and Unix chokes on this,
as well as any ^D in the file.  It must be deleted.  Also, the first line
must be a %! all alone (Apple seems to prefer it that way).

We have written a small program that will play this little game for you.
It will run under Unix or DOS.

Individuals may feel free to use this program.  _ANY_ organization or 
institution must contact the authors first at wer5@midway.uchicago.edu.

Here's the code:

/* PSFIX - Will patch a postscript file for proper printing by
	   adding '%!' at the top of the file, and by eliminating
	   any nulls and control-d's in the file.

	   This patching is necessary when printing to Apple Print
	   Servers via LocalTalk, or when printing postscript to a
	   file from MicroSoft Windows 3.0.
