I am looking for an on-screen PostScript interpreter for my Amiga
500.  I would like to preview PostScript files before printing them.

Does anybody have a utility that will allow me to do this?  Has
anyone ported GNU GhostScript to the Amiga?  I have seen some PD
"PostScript-like" interpreters that are nearly useless.  I need
something that will do REAL PostScript (like files created by
Excellence!, gnuplot, etc).

If I do not hear anything, I will assume that no port exists and
I will look into porting GNU GhostScript myself.

(I tried to post this once, but I don't think it made it.  Sorry if
this is a repeat.)
