NAME
     fixmswrd.pl  - Patches the postscript generated by Microsoft
     (MS) Word printer drivers so they work with Ghostview 1.5.

SYNOPSIS
     fixmswrd [-v] [file [output-file]]

DESCRIPTION
     This program patches the postscript  generated  by  MS  Word
     printer  drivers so they work with Ghostview 1.5.  The prob-
     lem is that the document  structuring  conventions  are  not
     followed  by MS Word.  The pages are supposed to be indepen-
     dent but they depend on a dictionary being opened outside of
     the  pages.  The erroneous structure is modified, and a com-
     ment of the following form is added to the document to  mark
     that it has been converted:

          %LOCALGhostviewPatched
