2.3 Ghostscript installation
============================
Ghostscript is a PostScript interpreter freely available to end-users,
originally written by Peter Deutsch. It can read the PostScript
produced by Dvips and render it on your monitor, or for another device
(e.g., an Epson printer) that does not support PostScript, or in PDF
format. The latest version is available via <https://ghostscript.com>.
The program Ghostview, originally written by Johannes Plass and Tim
Theisen, provides typical previewing capabilities (next page/previous
page, magnification, etc.). It requires Ghostscript to run, and files
in structured Postscript, specifically with '%%Page' comments (no 'N' in
'config.ps'). The current version is known as GV, and is available from
<https://www.gnu.org/software/gv>.
