Thanks for making this clear. I wasn't sure if that is specified that
way in the postscript standard and old printers really can cope with all
of them unix, windows and macintosh style line breaks. dvi2ps generates
ps files with Unix style line breaks on my Windows machine too.

Thanks, there is another Xfig clone called WinFIG that is installed on
my Windows machine and I can report that it seems to work with Windows
line breaks here. Should have tried it before.

But pdf files should definitely be fixed.
