Open source PostScript interpreter [closed]

I'm looking for a simple PostScript interpreter to read. What open source PostScript interpreters exist?

I know about Ghostscript of course and also about xpost. Oh, I've just found ralpage, but it does not compile out of the box in modern compilers.

I'm not sure there are any others...... Nobody sane would write a PostScript interpreter these days, and most of the old ones have vanished into the mists of history.
