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  driv-
       ers  so they work with Ghostview 1.5.  The problem is that the document
       structuring conventions are not followed by MS  Word.   The  pages  are
       supposed to be independent 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
