Hi,
	thanks to the people who replied. The port looks much easier than
anticipated and I should have it going by Monday (fingers crossed). Also
I am porting version 1.4beta and I'm guessing that the device interface
will not change between this and the official 1.4 release. 
Should I let the GNU people know so this driver is included in later
releases ?

Also, some comments were made about CGI and device independence. It is possible
to grab the display adapter type using an ioctl and then including code
to do line drawing etc. for each type. This just clutters the code during
initial development/testing and can be easily added later. I'm also
going to make epson printer support available under U*IX, at the moment
it is only provided under DOS. 

Does anyone know where I can't get additional Ghostscript fonts ? - I've
looked on prep.ai.mit.edu but can't see any.
				Glenn
