It must be a translator, but someone >suggested to me that the name is a pseudonym for GhostScript, a >product of the Free Software Foundation (the GNU people). GoScript is a commercial Postscript clone program for IBM-PC's. It will output to LAserJets, DeskJets, common dot matrix printers or a file. It costs $195 and works fine for some but not all purposes. So far it has taken everything I have given it (after they fixed a bug I found). "Setscreen" is not implemented and of course it wont take Adobe fonts. Doug McDonald
