.SH NAME
fixnt \- Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B fixnt 
< 
.I BADFILE.ps  
>  
.I GOODFILE.ps
.SH DESCRIPTION
The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript
files, that are incompatible with psutils.  
.B fixnt
is a filter that fixes these problems, allowing the use of
.BR psnup (1).
.PP
The filter takes the broken postscript file on 
.BR stdin ,
and outputs a fixed postscript file on 
.BR stdout .
It has no other form for invocation and takes no options on the command-line.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B fixnt
takes no options.
.SH BUGS
.B fixnt
does not check for NTPSOct94.  For a workaround, use a
.BR sed (1)
command
to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so:
.RS
sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g'
.RE
This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users.
