   Can someone enlighten me on a bit on Ghostscript?  From what I've seen in
   various net postings, I gather it's a Postscript clone that's distributed
   by the Free Software Foundation.  Some of the postings I've seen imply that
   it will run under MS-DOS.

GhostScript is a PostScript clone as stated above.  It implements the entire
PostScript language (with one or two minor exceptions).  It runs under X11
and a PC compatible with an EGA or VGA graphics adapter.

   Assuming that much is true, where can I obtain a copy?  What output
   devices are supported, Epson compatible dot matrix printers?  Is the
   source distributed and is it compilable with Turbo C?

The latest release, version 1.1, should be out within the next couple of
weeks.  It will be made available in the FSF software repository, and I'll
make it available on sun.soe.clarkson.edu for those who don't want to
have to fight with ftping to mit. :-)

Only output on a display is currently supported, although a printer
driver shouldn't be too hard to write.  Source is distributed with
the package and compiles under Turbo C 2.0.
