I belive there is a PD software called Go Script which does a creditable job
of printing postscript files to dot matrix printers.

The name of the utility is GhostScript, and it can be found at Simtel-20
in the PD1:<MSDOS.POSTSCRIPT> directory, under the filenames of GS252*.*
and 25*.*.  Yes, there are a lot of files.

It is not PD software, it is Freeware.  Yes, there is a difference.  :)

	To the best of my knowledge ghostscript will not print but it will
allow you to view just about any postscript file.
