Actually, there *IS* a program called Ghostscript for UNIX and MS-DOS.  I've
compiled it on unix and it works fine (and quickly).  It did NOT (I think)
include an Amiga version.

HOWEVER, there is a very good (IMHO) PD postscript interpreter for the Amiga
called Post.  The current version is 1.5 I think.  It is available on
everyone's favorite FTP site, abcfd20.
