| 40 | Ghostscript is a programming language similar to Adobe Systems' | |
| 41 | PostScript (tm) language, which is in turn similar to Forth. | |
| 42 | .I Gs | |
| 43 | reads | |
| 44 | .I file | |
| 45 | and displays it as a Ghostscript file. | |
| 46 | It then interprets commands from standard input until an end of file | |
| 47 | character (^D or CTRL-D) is typed. | |
| 48 | The `quit' character (^C) also terminates Ghostscript execution. | |
