RoPS --- Roger's PostScript
The RoPS interpreter is an implementation of the level 1 PostScript
programming language interpreter described in Adobe Systems' book, the
'PostScript language reference manual'. RoPS is not an Adobe approved
product. The name 'PostScript' is a registered trademark of Adobe
Systems Incorporated.
RoPS runs Under Microsoft Windows (3.1, 3.11, NT, Windows-95). Both
16 and 32-bit versions are available. You will need to install
Microsoft's win32s system to run the 32-bit version of the program
under 3.1x. RoPS requires at least 4Mb of memory to function
efficiently.
Features:
+ full Level 1 implementation
+ uses TrueType fonts
+ understands PostScript document structuring conventions:
can randomly access any page of a conforming document.
+ handles colour (palette displays only)
+ anti-aliases text
+ can transfer PostScript documents to clipboard as graphics or text
RoPS is not free. Users are encouraged to register with the author
at a cost of 20 UKP (30 USD)
To install RoPS on your Windows PC, unpack the rops.zip program into a
temporary directory, change to that directory and run the 'setup'
program. You should then run the 'fontscan' program before running
RoPS for the first time.

Version 4.2 fixes a problem with certain fonts that made the output
look like a faulty fax machine. A bug that prevented printing under
Win95 has been fixed. Documents up to 1000 pages are supported.
Version 4.1 fixed a number of problems experienced with earlier releases
and in particular: long file names are handled properly; a 'fontscan'
program has been added to create PostScript -> TrueType mappings
automatically; Latin1Encoding has been added.
