>Description:
The handbook script for filtering postscript through gs is
broken. It includes a second, unneeded invocation of gs that was
probably meant to be commented out without explanation, and is
missing a continuation mark on one command.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read the handbook chapter on advanced printing, looking for
"gs ".
>Fix:
The attached patch removes the extra invocation, and adds in
the line continuation needed to make the script work properly.
