A question: does the program allow one to insert HTML links in the
resulting .pdf file? There seems to be no features list on the page you
refer to as well as this one:

No, hyperlinks are not possible at the moment.

No, hyperlinks are not possible at the moment.
Perhaps a "requested feature" then? 80)>

I think, that this is possible in version 0.9 or 1.0. ;-)

AFPL and GPL are two different licenses under which Ghostscript is
published. Look at http://www.ghostscript.com/ for further info.

The AFPL version is always a step ahead but has also more restrictions
about re-publishing software it covers than the GPL. Thus, if you just
want to use the program you are probably better of with the AFPL
version.

Hi John;
Just to provide some further info on the technical challenges of doing
this, AFAIK, Ghostscript, the PS to PDF engine, doesn't yet support
this, at least to the point where it will recognize the link and create
it as such in the PDF file. I imagine the author will include this
feature as soon as the Ghostscript authors makes it available.

That makes sense to me. Thanks for the clarification.
