                        (Version 9, September 18, 2000)

   Copyright (C) 1994, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 Aladdin Enterprises,
            Menlo Park, California, U.S.A. All rights reserved.

     NOTE:  This  License  is  not  the  same as any of the GNU Licenses
     published   by   the   Free  Software  Foundation.  Its  terms  are
     substantially  different from those of the GNU Licenses. If you are
     familiar with the GNU Licenses, please read this license with extra
     care.

   Aladdin  Enterprises  hereby  grants to anyone the permission to apply
   this  License  to  their  own  work,  as  long  as  the entire License
   (including  the  above  notices  and this paragraph) is copied with no
   changes,  additions,  or  deletions  except  for  changing  the  first
   paragraph  of  Section 0 to include a suitable description of the work
   to which the license is being applied and of the person or entity that
   holds  the copyright in the work, and, if the License is being applied
   to a work created in a country other than the United States, replacing
   the  first paragraph of Section 6 with an appropriate reference to the
   laws of the appropriate country.

   This  License  is  not  an Open Source license: among other things, it
   places  restrictions  on  distribution  of  the  Program, specifically
   including  sale of the Program. While Aladdin Enterprises respects and
   supports  the philosophy of the Open Source Definition, and shares the
   desire   of   the   GNU  project  to  keep  licensed  software  freely
   redistributable  in  both  source  and  object form, we feel that Open
   Source  licenses  unfairly  prevent developers of useful software from
   being  compensated proportionately when others profit financially from
   their  work.  This  License attempts to ensure that those who receive,
   redistribute,  and contribute to the licensed Program according to the
   Open  Source  and  Free Software philosophies have the right to do so,
   while  retaining for the developer(s) of the Program the power to make
   those  who use the Program to enhance the value of commercial products
   pay for the privilege of doing so.

0. Subject Matter

   This   License   applies  to  the  computer  program  known  as  "AFPL
   Ghostscript."  The  "Program",  below,  refers  to  such  program. The
   Program  is  a  copyrighted  work whose copyright is held by artofcode
   LLC, located in Benicia, California (the "Licensor"). Please note that
   AFPL Ghostscript is neither the program known as "GNU Ghostscript" nor
   the  version  of  Ghostscript  available for commercial licensing from
   Artifex Software Inc.

   A  "work  based  on  the  Program"  means  either  the  Program or any
   derivative  work  of  the  Program,  as  defined  in the United States
   Copyright Act of 1976, such as a translation or a modification.

   BY  MODIFYING  OR  DISTRIBUTING  THE PROGRAM (OR ANY WORK BASED ON THE
   PROGRAM),  YOU  INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE TO DO SO, AND
   ALL  ITS  TERMS  AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTING OR MODIFYING
   THE  PROGRAM  OR  WORKS  BASED  ON IT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE
   GRANTS  YOU  PERMISSION  TO  MODIFY  OR  DISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM OR ITS
   DERIVATIVE  WORKS.  THESE ACTIONS ARE PROHIBITED BY LAW. IF YOU DO NOT
   ACCEPT  THESE  TERMS  AND  CONDITIONS, DO NOT MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE THE
   PROGRAM. 

1. Licenses.

   Licensor  hereby  grants  you  the following rights, provided that you
   comply  with  all  of  the  restrictions set forth in this License and
   provided,  further,  that  you  distribute  an unmodified copy of this
   License with the Program:
   (a)
          You  may copy and distribute literal (i.e., verbatim) copies of
          the  Program's  source  code  as  you receive it throughout the
          world, in any medium.
   (b)
          You  may  modify the Program, create works based on the Program
          and  distribute  copies  of  such  throughout the world, in any
          medium.

2. Restrictions.

   This license is subject to the following restrictions:
   (a)
          Distribution of the Program or any work based on the Program by
          a  commercial  organization to any third party is prohibited if
          any  payment  is  made  in  connection  with such distribution,
          whether  directly  (as in payment for a copy of the Program) or
          indirectly  (as  in  payment  for  some  service related to the
          Program, or payment for some product or service that includes a
          copy  of the Program "without charge"; these are only examples,
          and  not  an  exhaustive enumeration of prohibited activities).
          The  following  methods of distribution involving payment shall
          not in and of themselves be a violation of this restriction:
        (i)
               Posting the Program on a public access information storage
               and  retrieval  service  for  which  a fee is received for
               retrieving  information  (such  as  an  on-line  service),
               provided  that the fee is not content-dependent (i.e., the
               fee  would  be  the same for retrieving the same volume of
               information  consisting of random data) and that access to
               the service and to the Program is available independent of
               any other product or service. An example of a service that
               does  not  fall  under  this section is an on-line service
               that  is  operated by a company and that is only available
               to  customers  of that company. (This is not an exhaustive
               enumeration.)
        (ii)
               Distributing  the  Program  on removable computer-readable
               media,  provided that the files containing the Program are
               reproduced  entirely  and verbatim on such media, that all
               information   on   such   media   be  redistributable  for
               non-commercial  purposes  without  charge,  and  that such
               media   are   distributed   by   themselves   (except  for
               accompanying   documentation)  independent  of  any  other
               product or service. Examples of such media include CD-ROM,
               magnetic  tape,  and  optical  storage media. (This is not
               intended  to  be  an  exhaustive  list.)  An  example of a
               distribution  that  does  not fall under this section is a
               CD-ROM  included  in  a  book or magazine. (This is not an
               exhaustive enumeration.)
   (b)
          Activities other than copying, distribution and modification of
          the  Program  are  not  subject  to  this  License and they are
          outside  its  scope. Functional use (running) of the Program is
          not  restricted, and any output produced through the use of the
          Program  is  subject  to  this  license  only  if  its contents
          constitute  a  work based on the Program (independent of having
          been made by running the Program).
   (c)
          You  must  meet all of the following conditions with respect to
          any  work  that  you  distribute or publish that in whole or in
          part  contains  or  is  derived  from  the  Program or any part
          thereof ("the Work"):
        (i)
               If  you have modified the Program, you must cause the Work
               to  carry prominent notices stating that you have modified
               the  Program's  files  and the date of any change. In each
               source  file  that  you  have modified, you must include a
               prominent   notice   that  you  have  modified  the  file,
               including your name, your e-mail address (if any), and the
               date and purpose of the change;
        (ii)
               You  must  cause the Work to be licensed as a whole and at
               no  charge  to  all  third parties under the terms of this
               License;
        (iii)
               If  the  Work  normally  reads commands interactively when
               run,  you  must  cause it, at each time the Work commences
               operation,  to  print or display an announcement including
               an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is
               no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty).
               Such  notice  must  also state that users may redistribute
               the  Work  only  under  the conditions of this License and
               tell  the  user  how  to  view  the  copy  of this License
               included  with  the  Work.  (Exceptions: if the Program is
               interactive  but  normally  prints  or  displays  such  an
               announcement  only at the request of a user, such as in an
               "About  box", the Work is required to print or display the
               notice  only  under the same circumstances; if the Program
               itself  is interactive but does not normally print such an
               announcement,  the  Work  is  not  required  to  print  an
               announcement.);
        (iv)
               You   must   accompany   the   Work   with   the  complete
               corresponding machine-readable source code, delivered on a
               medium  customarily  used  for  software  interchange. The
               source  code  for  a  work means the preferred form of the
               work  for  making  modifications  to it. For an executable
               work,  complete  source code means all the source code for
               all  modules  it  contains,  plus any associated interface
               definition   files,  plus  the  scripts  used  to  control
               compilation  and  installation  of the executable code. If
               you  distribute  with  the  Work  any  component  that  is
               normally  distributed  (in  either  source or binary form)
               with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of
               the  operating  system  on  which the executable runs, you
               must  also distribute the source code of that component if
               you have it and are allowed to do so;
        (v)
               If  you  distribute any written or printed material at all
               with the Work, such material must include either a written
               copy  of  this  License, or a prominent written indication
               that  the  Work  is  covered  by  this License and written
               instructions  for  printing  and/or displaying the copy of
               the License on the distribution medium;
        (vi)
               You  may  not  impose  any  further  restrictions  on  the
               recipient's exercise of the rights granted herein.

   If  distribution  of executable or object code is made by offering the
   equivalent  ability  to  copy  from  a designated place, then offering
   equivalent  ability to copy the source code from the same place counts
   as  distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
   compelled to copy the source code along with the object code.

  3. Reservation of Rights.

   No  rights  are  granted  to the Program except as expressly set forth
   herein.  You  may  not  copy,  modify,  sublicense,  or distribute the
   Program  except  as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
   otherwise  to  copy,  modify,  sublicense or distribute the Program is
   void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
   However,  parties  who have received copies, or rights, from you under
   this  License  will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
   parties remain in full compliance.

  4. Other Restrictions.

   If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
   countries  for  any  reason, Licensor may add an explicit geographical
   distribution   limitation   excluding   those   countries,   so   that
   distribution  is  permitted  only  in  or  among  countries  not  thus
   excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
   written in the body of this License.

  5. Limitations.

   THE  PROGRAM IS PROVIDED TO YOU "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY. THERE IS NO
   WARRANTY  FOR THE PROGRAM, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
   NOT  LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
   FOR  A  PARTICULAR  PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.
   THE  ENTIRE  RISK  AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
   WITH  YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
   ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 

   IN  NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
   WILL  LICENSOR,  OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE
   THE  PROGRAM  AS  PERMITTED  ABOVE,  BE  LIABLE  TO  YOU  FOR DAMAGES,
   INCLUDING  ANY  GENERAL,  SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
   ARISING  OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
   NOT  LIMITED  TO  LOSS  OF  DATA  OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
   LOSSES  SUSTAINED  BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
   TO  OPERATE  WITH  ANY  OTHER  PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
   PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 

  6. General.

   This  License  is  governed  by  the  laws of the State of California,
   U.S.A., excluding choice of law rules.

   If  any  part of this License is found to be in conflict with the law,
   that part shall be interpreted in its broadest meaning consistent with
   the law, and no other parts of the License shall be affected.

   For  United  States  Government  users,  the  Program is provided with
   RESTRICTED  RIGHTS.  If  you are a unit or agency of the United States
   Government  or  are acquiring the Program for any such unit or agency,
   the following apply:

     If  the  unit  or  agency is the Department of Defense ("DOD"), the
     Program   and  its  documentation  are  classified  as  "commercial
     computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation"
     respectively and, pursuant to DFAR Section 227.7202, the Government
     is  acquiring  the Program and its documentation in accordance with
     the terms of this License. If the unit or agency is other than DOD,
     the  Program  and  its  documentation are classified as "commercial
     computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation"
     respectively and, pursuant to FAR Section 12.212, the Government is
     acquiring  the Program and its documentation in accordance with the
     terms of this License.
