I tried to send this via email, but nobody seems to know how to get to
the Soviet Union, so I'll post.

Dmitry didn't specify what computer, but there is one Postscript
interpreter on the Amiga.  It is called POST, and is currently at
version 1.1 (I have 0.2, 1.0 and 1.1).  It needs 1M of RAM, preferably
more.

It is extremely nice, and includes source.  The latest version, 1.1,
intergrates the interpretor into an AmigaOS library, making it a part of
the OS.  It works to printer, screen or file.

You can FTP it from NASA (abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov, 128.155.23.64 in
incoming/amiga/post11.lzh) or from here (mqccsuna.mqcc.mq.oz.au,
137.111.161.1 in amiga/misc/DTP/post11.lzh).  It is 198559 bytes long in
it's lharc'ed form (ie. make sure that you have LHARC if you pull it up!
You'll also need some Type 3 fonts, but these are also obtainable from
many sources, including abcdf20 and (soon) mqccsuna.

I'd post it myself, but I think that this would irritate a few people in
this group.  However, if enough people say yes and very few say no...
