Thanks to the many who replied either here or by mail.  As most of you 
pointed out, the problem is that unix expects lines to end with a \cr\lf
combo while pc's generally output only the \lf in order to make text 
processing done more easily.

In my case, the epsf file (included into TeX by epsf and psfig, btw) was
generated on a Mac.  My solution (a painful one) was to use ResEdit to 
change the file type from EPSF to TEXT.  I then used MSWord or other to read 
in the file and save as Text with Line Breaks (making sure that the lines 
are not broken before the \lf).  

btw, I looked at dos2unix available on wuarchive, but it seemed to only 
_remove_ the \lf not replace it with \cr\lf.  Also, Fetch (ftp program for
macs) has a nice feature in tranferring text files called 'Wrapped Text'
which breaks long lines.  The only problem with this approach is that long
comment lines (yes, some are more than 255 chars!) are cut and the ps 
interpretter thinks the part that is cut as a new line is postscript.

I am still looking for a better solution -- may hack the dos2unix.c source.
It would be worth it for the number of these figures I need to do.

Thanks again for the response.
