Hi everyone,
  I'm just learning Postscript, and I'm having a bit of trouble
debugging my code.  I use a UNIX operating system, and Apple
Laserwriters that are hooked up to the network here at UCSD.
This setup is such that I don't get any error messages back from
the printer when things go wrong.  I usually just get a blank
page or nothing at all.
  The question is whether anyone out there has a postscript
interpreter (written in c if possible) that I could use to 
find stack overflows and other nasties.  It would be nice to
be able to trace through a program rather than to get a blank
sheet from the printer.  (The laser accounts here are $.10 a page 
and this is getting expensive.)
  I don't even know if such a thing exists, but if someone has 
one, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.  BTW, I'm looking
for public domain stuff here, no $1,500 packages or anything.
I do have FTP access.

Please respond via E-MAIL to the address below.  Don't post unless
it's something you think others would be interested in.

Thanks!
