All files of type "ps" are programs, including files that are
generated by a word processor for formatted text, or by Photoshop
for images.

However some PostScript programs function like conventional utilites:

	The program "prfonts.ps" can generate a list of fonts in a
	font library.  This and other PostScript-language programs part of
	the Ghostscript distribution are (for this machine) in the
	directory: 
	
		/usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.00/lib
	
	They are described in the html page (for this machine):

		file:///usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.00/doc/Psfiles.htm



	Various PostScript-language programs, some utilities, most
	generating images, are given as examples in the:

		PostScript language tutorial and cookbook
		Adobe Systems Incorporated 
		Reading, MA : Addison Wesley, 1985
		ISBN 0-201-10179-3 (pbk.)

	The examples are isolated in the web-page:

		http://www.science.uva.nl/~robbert/ps/bluebook/

	which also has a pointer to the Adobe Systems ftp site for
	download of the Blue Book.
