	DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 95, Windows NT, for
	LaserGo's Goscript. [ It also can be a plugin
	for Netscape Navigator to read *.PS files ]

	and as the "freeware" Ghostscript you can
	get:
	MAC, OS/2, Unix of various flavours.

	There are CJK versions around too.

	The Next computer handled its screen views and
	printing in Postscript.

	Remember, Ghostscript (which is the "freeware" name
	for a Postscript interpreter; Goscript is the copyright
	name for LaserGo's version) is an _interpreter_.

	Your XY has to put out the code (try it and see what
	the file is) which GS interprets, (read the funny English
	of your Xywrite TYF output), calculates the black and white
	(or colour) points (bits) and sends the codes to the
	printer, be it dot-matrix, deskjet, laserjet or whatever.

	Postscript printers have RAM, code in ROM and a CPU to
	do it all inside those printers. There is usually a
	premium on the price of a PS printer.
	Ghostscript does it all in the computer for you.
