X-window PS for VMS?

I'm currently developing a Postscript program for printing a report.  I will
also be doing other reports in the future.  However, the only Postscript
interpreter that I have available is a printer.  I've already printed a third
of a ream (sp?) of paper, and I do hate killing trees.

I would like to use the X-station that is sitting on my desk as the output
device until I want a hardcopy output.  I've found Ghostscript (GNU's
Postscript interpreter) on athena-dist.mit.edu, but I don't have the time nor
the inclination to port it.  (I've tried to port GNU stuff before, you see.)

Would someone happen to know a site from which I may ftp an executable for
VMS?  (No comments on my choice of platform, please.  That's not the issue.)
In case that is not available, would someone know where I could get the C
source code already ported for VMS?

				Thanks in advance,

P.S.: Followup if you think it's relevant, or send mail to me (at the address
      in my signature).  I'll followup if I get significant replies.
