Your advice is suspect in any case. There's many very important things in /bin/ which will not work with 755 permissions, such as logins.
This is all very true but there
might be a (slim) chance even in the case "$INSTALLDIR" was in fact
/bin: it will depend on which system exactly it is and which binaries are located in
/usr/bin and
/usr/sbin respectively (supposing
/usr/bin is NOT a link to
/bin or vice versa, which is customary these days, but not with all systems). There might also be a second set of system binaries, like with SunOS'
/usr/xpg4/bin with a usable
chmod binary.
There is an additional chance if "$INSTALLDIR" was not "/bin" and the system is AIX: if you have TCB (trusted computing base) switched on you can restore the file permissions of system files quite easily. See the TCB documentation for details.
I hope this helps.

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango
SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files...
DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves
through the pango ft2 backend.
OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
included below.
--landscape
Landscape output. Default is portrait.
--columns=cl
Number of columns output. Default is 1.
--font=desc
Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12.
--rtl Do rtl layout.
--paper ps
Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter, a4. Default is A4.
--bottom-margin=bm
Set bottom margin in postscript points (1/72 inch). Default is 36.
--top-margin=tm
Set top margin. Default is 36.
--left-margin=lm
Set left margin. Default is 36.
--right-margin=rm
Set right margin. Default is 36.
--help Show summary of options.
--header
Draw page header for each page.
--markup
Interpret the text as pango markup.
--encoding=ENCODING
Assume the documentation encoding is ENCODING.
--lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing.
--cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size.
--stretch-chars
Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops
behaviour.
