The FixPS program will now support multiple page landscape
output, fixing all of the landscape pages in the file.

Also, the program is now compatible with other PostScript utilities
in the Coyote Library, which means in addition to US letter
and European A4 page sizes, it now support US legal and
ledger page sizes as well. Because it *is* compatible, if
you use PS_Start and PS_End to configure and close the
PostScript device, then PostScript landscape mode output
is fixed automatically for you. You never have to think
about this again. (Except, of course, when ITTVIS gets
around to fixing the underlying problem. But I wouldn't
hold my breath.)

Making everything compatible involved small changes to
a number of files, listed here:

http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fsc_psconfig__define.pro
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/fixps.pro
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/ps_start.pro
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/ps_end.pro

You can find all five of these PostScript utility files,
as well as a number of other Coyote Library files required
to run them, in this zip file:
