  On the Amiga there is a program called Post. This consists of a
dynamically linkable library and a few programs that make use of it.

  The Post program is the general PS interpreter. It will output to an
IFF file, the screen or the printer. PostLJ is a program that will
output a PS directly to a LaserJet. Mkbmap  is a separate
package that will take any Type1 or Type3 PS font and output it at any
density as an Amiga bitmap font.


  Source code is availible for all programs mentioned above, including
the post.libary. Tomas Rockiki uses it in his TeX package for the
Amiga to give TeX on-screen PS preview capabilities.
