PostScript previewer for Sun

[Peter Deutsch]

Ghostscript, a piece of GNU software available from the Free Software
Foundation, is a no-charge P*stScr*pt previewer that runs on a very wide
variety of Unix systems, including Sun-3 and Sun-4 under either SunView or
X Windows.  It is also known to run on DECstations, on VAXen under both
Ultrix and VMS, and under MS-DOS on any IBM PC or compatible with EGA or
VGA display.  (It will probably run on just about any Unix + X system,
since it is carefully written to be very portable -- the same source code
compiles on all of the above machines, with essentially no #ifs or #ifdefs
in any .c file.)  It handles monochrome, gray scale, and color, and can
work equally well with its own rather mediocre fonts, with Adobe (Type 1)
fonts, and with user-written (Type 3) fonts.  I believe the performance of
the most recent release is better than either ralpage or xps, but I
haven't tested them myself.

The source files of the current release, including a small amount of
documentation, are available on prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/ghostscript-2.1*;
they will compile with either cc or gcc.
