I have no real answer, but usually, if you edit the .ps file and remove the  
"-adobe-2.0" from the first line, leaving the "!%" (I think, I'm doing this  
from memory) it will usually display and print OK.  It won't, however, FAX.
I think when NeXT sees the adobe-2.0, it 'assumes' it generated it itself, and  
further 'assumes' things about the structure that turn out not to be true.   
When you strip that -adobe-2.0 part from the header, it treats the file as  
foreign.
