This script is meant to fix postscript output produced by PGPLOT.
All postscript output from PGPLOT is encapsulated
postscript.  This is so that single page files (the most common)
should be labeled as EPS for inclusion in things like Latex
documents.  Unfortunately, some recent versions of CUPS (Common Unix
Printing System) have a problem with this for multipage files.
Strictly speaking, CUPS is correct (although there seems to be some problem
in it as well), as an EPS cannot be more than one
page long, but if you have ever programmed in FORTRAN, you can
understand why it would not be easy to fix this in PGPLOT.  But in
Perl, it is very easy.

This script takes the name of a postscript file, and if necessary,
strips the eps tag out, leaving a valid, CUPS safe, postscript file.
And it leaves a backup of the old file.

This is especially useful in conjunction with PGPERL, where it may be
called as a subroutine in the same script that make the postscript
file in the first place.
