From: Mark Dodel

Just noticed that there is a somewhat recent (10/20/2005) update to 
AFPL Ghostscript.

The main Ghostscript page: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/AFPL/

"Ghostscript is the name of a set of software that provides:

     * An interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language, with the 
ability to convert PostScript language files to many raster formats, 
view them on displays, and print them on printers that don't have 
PostScript language capability built in;
     * An interpreter for Portable Document Format (PDF) files, with 
the same abilities;
     * The ability to convert PostScript language files to PDF (with 
some limitations) and vice versa; and
     * A set of C procedures (the Ghostscript library) that implement 
the graphics capabilities that appear as primitive operations in the 
PostScript language."

Download Ghostscript 8.53: 
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/AFPL/gs853/gs853os2.zip

Ghostscript can be used by a couple of different GUI frontends for 
converting Postscript to a PDF format:
	- ePDF by Frank Wochatz: http://www.subsys.de/ePDF/
and
	- GSView: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm
