Hello all,

   Has anyone taken a shot at porting this to the ST?  It shouldn't be too hard,
now that there is a GCC for TOS.  I know there is an executable version for the
PC (in fact, I have it, but haven't even unpacked it yet).

   I'd do it myself, but I lack the time and I'm not a C wizard either.  I would
prefer to have Ghostscipt on the ST, and I wouldn't mind that much if it's big
and/or slow.
