+SUMMARY = "The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF interpreter"
+DESCRIPTION = "Ghostscript is used for PostScript/PDF preview and printing.  Usually as \
+a back-end to a program such as ghostview, it can display PostScript and PDF \
+documents in an X11 environment. \
+\
+Furthermore, it can render PostScript and PDF files as graphics to be printed \
+on non-PostScript printers. Supported printers include common \
+dot-matrix, inkjet and laser models. \
