As someone who has immense respect for Peter, and also as someone who is in the process of writing a high-quality, high-speed PS interpreter, I have *every* sympathy for his preference for doing as much of it as is feasible himself. While it is easy to get *something* going, getting it all going right involves a lot of effort; integrating other people's code, no matter how helpfully it was provided, may *not* be the minimum-cost solution. Remember that no matter how many peopel contribute, it will still be known out there as `Peter Deutsch's GhostScript', if it suffers through having had too many cooks, it will be he who still gets all the flames. -- Ian D.
