Ghostscript was originally ported to RISC OS by Graham Jones, who also implemented the sprite output device. It is currently maintained by Martin Wuerthner, who has made the latest version (8.54) available. The source code is available in GCCSDK's Autobuilder cli/ghostscript directory.
Martin is also the author of GView, a front end for Ghostscript which displays Postscript and PDF files on the desktop. This offers the most accurate way to view PDFs under RISC OS.
