[Gsview] pstoedit ps->dxf conversion problem (May have wrong list)

Those messages are pretty self explanatory.  That file claims to be 
an EPS file, but does not comply with the EPS requirements.

The first line of the file must be identifying it as EPS, not plain 
PS.

Remove the above section of code.  It is safe to do so if you want it 
to be treated as EPS.  GSview will ignore that set code when 
displaying anyway.
