Have you tried Transfusion from EGO systems? They publish GS+ which
is, in my opinion, a rather nice magazine/disk devoted to the GS.
Both EGOed and Transfusion( which is being rewritten in Orca/C) are
NDA's. Transfusion does download in the background.

While I'm at it, are there any ANSI Basic languages for the GS? What
about Orca/C? Does it follow (strictly) the ANSI C standard?
