Obviously Word Perfect is not generating correct DSC PostScript.  Yes, there
has been a problem with OW 2.0 Pageview.  I think OW 3.0 is a little better.
But, Pageview requires the %%Page: DSC keyword to stop.  There are a few other
things that can trip it up.

If you want to send a copy of one of your problem files to brown@wi.extrel.com,
I'll try them out on both OW 2.0 and OW 3.0 Pageview.  I'll attempt to find the
cure as well, i.e., what needs to be edited in the PostScript file to make it
work.
