Running Archie with maxhits set to 4 gives the following four
ftp sites for ghostscript.  I also ran a check for UK sites
and at the momment there are no UK sites in the ARCHIE database.
The first two hits are in Australia, and the third is in Japan
So I would go for the fourth one in the US. All in all there are about
80-100 ftp sites for ghostscript... but I don't want to list them here.
Basically this was just a demo of the utility of Archie in finding
programmes.

archie> set maxhits 4
archie> prog ghostscript
