After failing to find a usable copy of Postscript Magic, a shareware Postscript interpreter, I've decided to invest in one of the commercial packages. I'm looking for reviews and personal experiences of the GoScript and GoScript+ products, but I'd appreciate other recommendations also. My current system consist of a 12Mhz AT clone with 1MB of RAM, and the original Deskjet. Microsoft Word 5.0A will be the primary generator of Postscript files. I understand that I probably don't have enough memory to be able to Postscript print from within another application, and that portions of the bitmap will be paged to disk during the print operation. A 15 to 20 minute wait per Postscript page is acceptable. Thank you, clee@PolySlo.Calpoly.EDU Chang(Robert) Lee

You can ftp it from a number of different sites and I'm pretty sure you can anonymously uucp it from uunet. The latest version is 2.0 and is avaiable for the IBM PC. If you want to know more, or need help aquiring GNU GhostScript, just let me know. --- Michael R.
