does anybody have any experince with ghostscript, a (GNU?) postscript system?
i know there is an MSDOS version. the code is on prep.ai.mit.edu, last time
i looked.

i am sure it does not come with fonts, but all you need are a couple to at
least make it usable.

also, are there any good psto<whatever> filters? here <whatever> is assumed
to be more sophisticated than "ascii" (e.g. TeX, HPGL or whatever it is
called, etc).
