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,
