FIXWFWPS(1)

✨ FIXWFWPS ✨

okay bestie, welcome to fixwfwps — it lives in section 1 of the manual, it's a little command-line icon, and it has exactly one job 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fixwfwps — a filter that fixes Word for Windows documents so that PSUtils actually works 🫶

like. that's it. that's the whole mission statement.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

fixwfwps < WordforWindows.ps > Fixed.ps

she reads from standard input, she writes to standard output, she does not play 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea, bestie ☕

fixwfwps is a perl filter. It takes PostScript that came out of Word for Windows and "fixes" it — because, no cap, that PostScript does not vibe with Angus Duggan's psutils package straight out of the box 😭

The way that Word for Windows emits PostScript and the way psutils expects to receive it are just… not on speaking terms 🙈 so this little filter steps in, smooths everything over, and makes the two of them work correctly together ✨

you pipe the messy Word-for-Windows PostScript in, you get fixed-up PostScript out, and then the psutils tools can do their thing. main character energy, honestly 👑

heads up: it's a filter, so it wants to be in a pipeline. < WordforWindows.ps in, > Fixed.ps out, no arguments, no flags, no drama 🎀
