I had posted a request for information about a postscript viewer
for ega/vga displays.  The overwhelming number of responses asked
me to look at a program called Ghostscript.  I have not had the time
to try out the program yet, but the executable was obtainable from
prep.ai.mit.edu, and so was the source.  A summary of responses is
attached below.

Thanks to all who replied.

I think Ghostscript is what you need. It can be used both on unix and
ms-dos. I got it to work on unix/X windows. But have'nt worked on the PC yet

	I recently posted on this same subject. Almost all of the replies
I got where for a program called GhostScript, now in version 2.0.

	It is available by anonymous ftp from a number of sites, including
prep.ai.mit.edu. The source (compilable with Turbo C and tasm/masm) is in the
file ghostscript-2.0.tar.Z (or something similar... easily recognisable) in the
directory pub/gnu. A pre compiled version (for ega/vga) is hiding under the nameof gs_2_0.exe in the same directory.
