There is an implementation of GhostScript for PC. I have the Windows
version installed and sort of working. Sort of being that the examples of
graphics work fine; tiger.ps has to be seen to be believed. The problem is
that any ps program that includes text dies on my saying that it cannot
find the requested font and that ugly will be substituted but then it
complains about ugly and the whole thing dies. :-(

Regards, Trevor.
