	I've seen somewhere mention of a Postscript interpreter called
Ghostscript.  I know there is at least an MS-DOS version and I think a UNIX
version as well.  Does anyone know of a version of Ghostscript (or something
similar) for the Amiga??  I decided my project for the summer would be to 
write a PostScript driver for my Roland PR1012 9-pin printer because it has
a 240x216 dpi mode (no kidding - all Epson 9-pin compatibles should, just no
one ever writes anything to use the mode; it is excruciatingly slow).  If
anyone could mail me an ftp site where I could find it, it would be great.
Failing that, if anyone knows an ftp site with another version of Ghostscript
(ie MSDOS), I would appreciate hearing about that as the source could be
really usefull and I do have access to networked IBM 386's with LaserJetIII's
at school (but I want to be able to say I have a PostScript compatible printer
that's worth about $100).

I can recieve mail at bwhemphill@rose.uw.edu
		  or  bwhemphill@lotus.uw.edu

Thanks in advance for any help, and anyone who thinks they can drop me a
usefull comment or two, please feel free.
