Ghostscript is available from a bunch of sources. I downloaded it from
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil. Look in the directory PD1:<MSDOS.POSTSCRIPT>. There
are some files related to Ghostscript:
GS23.ZIP: The executable program.
GSF*.ZIP: The font files
(Helvetica, Times, Zapf-Chancery, etc.)
I myself want to make one question: where are the sources for Ghostscript?
