[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Anybody get 'ghostscript' to work?

Has anyone gotten "ghostscript" to work on the PC? If so, how did you
do it?

Is there a better group to post this to?

Ghostscript 1.0 had some problems.  Some were even major. :-)

If you're having problems getting the source code to compile and execute
correctly, make sure you're linking in the proper math library -- as the
source is distributed it's set up for 80x87 ONLY.  Change all occurrences
of fp87.lib to emu.lib in the batch files.  also, remove the mcopy commands
from the makefile.

A new version should be out soon.  Contains bug fixes and will compile
under Turbo C 2.0..

Note: No guarantees on the above; it's not MY code.  But it's fairly
accurate (methinks).
