Uh duhhhh...
on Windows its ps2pdf, and it is in ..\gs\lib yes that's right, but I think that ps2pdf and pstopdf is not the same... ps2pdf is a batchfile in the gs library and pstopdf is a ruby "script" which is packed in the "cont-exa.zip". this need ruby and gs.
I know nothing about Ruby, and its not on any of my systems. AFAIK, ps2pdf on Windows is identical to pstopdf on Linux (and OSX). It (they?) are distributed with gs, not ConTeXt, and call gs, no Ruby involved. I have no idea why it has two names. Maybe I've missed something.
If you are trying to accomplish something that the Ruby version offers ... I can't help you there. If you are simply converting [e]ps to pdf, try ps2pdf and see if you get what you want.
pstopdf.rb is a more extensive version of the eps to pdf converter in texutil.pl and uses GS for the conversion; however, pstopdf has a couple of extra features, like cropping, aggresive clean up of code, taking care of platform differences. pstopdf.rb is also used by pstopdf.pdf i.e. a graphical user interface to ps to pdf conversion pstopdf.rb can also watch folders and do automatic conversions BTW, the manual can be downloaded from out site.
