I have just become interested in postscript and would like to get some basic 
info.  So here are the questions:

-- What would be a good place to start learning how to program?  (pretty basic 
huh?)

-- I have access to a Mac and have printed some postscript stuff from there, but 
I have to download from a VAX to a PC...Is there an executable for the PC 
to emulate postscript?  If so where can I get this?  I have seen reference to 
something called Ghostscript....what is this?

-- Are there any FTP sites for postscript files and where are they?

Any other info that I might need would also be appreciated.

BTW, dont use the address in the header as the Zeus node is new and is not known 
very well yet...use the address in my sig at the bottom.

Thanks in advance

Mark
