	I used GhostScript under DOS a couple of years ago. 
You should be able to find it on prep... heck, here: 
 
	ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ghostscript-2.6.1msdos.tar.gz 
 
	I was impressed.   Rendered nicely on the mono LCD VGA 
of the portable I was using at the time  (IBM PS/2 L40 (386)).

	Using Mosaic,  or any web client,  to browse FTP archives 
is like riding a motorcycle in traffic.   If everyone else did it, 
you'd be okay and wouldn't get shoved aside.   But given the presence 
of all those other resource-hogging vehicles (ordinary FTP) ... [splat!]
