Yes, indeed, I and others have commented on this on various occasions in
various lists over the years: many M$ Windogs utilities do not produce
kosher postscript - there are often both leading and trailing lines
containing non-ASCII or control characters (meant for printers) that =
just
choke any attempt at screen rendering.  While I suppose LaTeX could be
"taught" to ignore the offending lines but it would be nicer if the =
software
producers thought a little more about the use of the output their =
programmes
provide.

That said, it's usually not at all difficult to edit the file manually =
(as
Ulrike did) and remove the problem.
