Reasons for switching to GS7: security (postscript is a programming language,
and can do harm) better (more conformant) quality of the resulting pdf (smaller)

Of course Gerben has a ii-package at url:
http://www.ntg.nl/macosx-tex/i-packages/gs7.ii

all packages can be found at: http://www.rna.nl/ii.html

WARNING: remove GS6 before installing GS7

Kind regards,
