moore@PULSAR.FAC.CS.CMU.EDU (Dale Moore) (01/28/89)

Research programmer experienced with PostScript looking for source,
opinions, information about 
postps, ghostscript, Crispin-Goswell, and/or Rutherford previewer.

Here is what I think I know about some of 'em...

postps
	Description: X utility for previewing Scribe and Troff
		PostScript output on X window display.
	Source: C available with X11R3.  Uses Adobe screen fonts.
	Problems: Poor font width management.  Not generic PostScript
		previewer.

GhostScript
	Description: ?PostScript Previewer?, ?Imagen interpreter?
	Source: ?proprietary C?

Crispin Goswell
	Description: PostScript Previewer with X window interface.
	Source:	C, ?public domain?

Rutherford
	Description: ?PostScript interpreter?
	Scource: ?C?
		
As you can see, I'm lacking quite a bit of information.
Additional information appreciated
