Ghostscript 1.2 is an old pgm (approx 1989). It is an interpreter for the
Ghostscript language, which closely resembles Postscript. The Amiga version
was ported by Stephen Vermeulen. He offered the source code if you sent him
either $10 or $5 + 2 disks. His address (at that time was):

                  Apt 6 - 2312 - 22 St. NW
                  Calgary, Alberta
                  Canada, T2M 3W4

As most people know, Post 1.6 is available for the Amiga, as is the commercial
pgm PixelScript.
