Okay, I managed to run it in such a way to convert some of the
supplied Postscript files to PDF as well as JPEG format using
commands similar to...

shell/iX> gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite \
> -sOutputFile=alphabet.pdf alphabet.ps

shell/iX> gs -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=jpeg \
> -sOutputFile=alphabet.jpeg alphabet.ps

shell/iX> ls -l alpha*
-rw-r--r--   1 APPEL.ORG         ORG       116046 Oct 15 12:50 alphabet.jpeg
-rw-r--r--   1 APPEL.ORG         ORG        13767 Oct 15 12:50 alphabet.pdf
-rw-r--r--   1 APPEL.ORG         ORG         1551 Oct 15 12:49 alphabet.ps

Seemed to work for examples like escher.ps or waterfal.ps or grayalph.ps
as well. Could view the PDF and JPEG files from a PC using my Samba share.

However, I still fail to see how Ghostscript could help with with text
to PDF printing on MPE/iX. Can anybody enlighten me? Or was the wish for
Ghostscript on MPE/iX not quite the right wish in this regard?
