Ghostscript 1.3 is available from the CUHUG bbs, with the iscan bug fixed as
per lpd's message of a few days ago, and with the 80386 executable replaced
by a 80286 executable. There are three archives, gs13src.arc, gs13doc.arc,
and gs13exe.arc. If you're ftping, they're in /d/graphics. If you're calling
via modem, they're in file area 12. Details on the CUHUG bbs follow:
The semi-official c.b.i.p archives are on grape.ecs.clarkson.edu which
is a Zenith Z-248 running a modified version of KA9Q's TCP/IP NET that
allows you to shell out to DOS while still processing packets. After
shelling to DOS, we run an Opus BBS. The particulars:
FTP: grape.ecs.clarkson.edu [128.153.13.196], user anonymous, password guest.
Look in 00readme for timely information.
Look in /d/general/cuhug.lst for a listing of files w/ descriptions.
Look in /[cdef]/allfiles for listings of all files.
Look in /c/bin1/*.* for c.b.i.p postings.
Look in /d/graphics/pa.arc for Painter's Apprentice
Look in /d/dosutil/postprn.arc for the PostScript device driver
Look in /e/freemacs/*.* for Freemacs
Look in /f/gif/*.gif for .GIF images.
Look in /f/games/*.* for Simtel20's games.
Opus: 260/360 in the Nodelist. (315)268-6667, 8N1, 1200/2400 Baud, 24 hours.
Look in file area 7 for PostPrn.
Look in file area 12 for Painter's Apprentice
Look in file area 23 for Simtel20's games.
Look in file area 25 for Freemacs
Look in file area 26 for c.b.i.p postings.
Look in file area 27 for .GIF images.
Submitting files to grape by FTP:
You can just put the file where you believe it belongs. Note that you
cannot overwrite files, so if you want to update something, you need
to change the name. Send mail to root if you need to delete or
overwrite a file.
To help us keep the 'files.bbs' up to date, we need a .DSC file. This
file should have its first line be a one-line description less than 40
characters in length. The rest of the file (no more than ten lines)
can be a more verbose description. Either put the file in the arc, or
else in the same subdir as the arc.

I recently got Ghostscript 1.3 from the SIMTEL20 archives. Now how do I use it? If I try to run GS.EXE with or without a filename on the command line I get: Reading ghost.ps... Interp returns -22 ostack: 38984084: 2 dict -ewr------ 100c 4d830f78 3898408c: d str -ewr------ b 52870008 38984094: d str -ewr------ 1 52870018 estack: 38983b84: 9 oper x--------- 0 13180278 38983b8c: 3 file xe-r------ 5 fe40000 38983b94: 0 arry xewr------ 6 4d834b80 38983b9c: 8 null x--------- 3 3f150003 38983ba4: 1 bool ---------- 0 0 38983bac: 3 file xe-r------ 6 4d830001 Great. Not very meanful to me. Do I need to configure some files? Am I missing some files? Will it only run on a PC with exactly 537K of memory and a 'super EGA Plus Deluxe II' card? What? Any help would be appreciated. I'm using a 16Mhz AT&T 6386 WGS with a VDC750 (i.e. EGA) card. --------- Dave Douglass Computer Sciences Corp. Piscataway, NJ 08854 ...!rutgers.rutgers.edu!cscnj!daved

I got the same package off of grape and it didn't work for me either. I tried several files and it returned the same error code (I think; it was a few days ago). Does anyone know what the problem is? -- !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! John F. Mclaurin jfm@cs.odu.edu Old Dominion Univ. Norfolk Va !!! !!!
