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!]
