   Postscript files are really text files in disguise.  Go in and delete all
   lines starting with "% % Page 1" and ending with the one right before "% %
   Page 101".

alternatively, get the psutils package from one of the ctan (?comprehensive
tex archive network?) sites (such as ftp.tex.ac.uk) -- it contains some
very useful postscript manipulation tools, including one which will do
exactly what you need.
