I tried first the psutils ( especially the Framemaker fix utility 'fixfmps' )
but it didn't fix this problem. In addition the psutils require Perl to
be installed. Not all sites have perl. The installation of the entire Perl
package and the psutils package only to add a simple PS-Adobe-2.0 to the first
line of a postscript file is to much overhead work.
