     Okay.  I killed the -afpl version and started the -gpl version.  Then
I noticed that there *is* a ps2pdf already installed.  I could have sworn
I had looked for it and not turned it up.  Sigh.  Oh, well.  portinstall
appears to be upgrading the whole port, so I'll let it continue.
     Thanks again to both you and Frank Mayhar.
