OK. What I've done for now is to leave the link to Ghostscript (a
slightly different one to yours - I'll verify it's correct tomorrow) in
the Postscript section, and recommend that people get this if they
don't have a reader for either PS or PDF. I've mentioned Acrobat Reader
in the PDF section as an example of a PDF reader that people may
already have - but I've removed the link to Adobe's site.
I've also added the external links section to the site map page.
The next thing on my to-do list is a page containing a list of projects
that are being worked on to avoid two people entering the same music - I
don't think this is very likely for the time being though :-)
