About a month ago I saw a request for help in compiling GhostScript on an MSDOS machine, however i never saw a reply. I am sorry if this has been covered in depth before but could one of you kind soles who have got it to compile please tell me how???. My system is a 386SX with a 1:1 interleave RLL harddisk controler, a Orchid ProDesigner II (with 1Mb), a Nec3D, 4Mb memory, DOS 4.01 and Desqview, a Western Digital WD3008E ethernet card with PCNFS, also I am useing TurboC++.

Ghostscript 2.1 is available for anonymous ftp at prep.ai.mit.edu in pub\gnu. The msdos executable and the fonts are both necessary. It is a very nice upgrade of version 2.0. Kudos to the authoring team. dcroyster -- David C. Royster royster@unccvax.uncc.edu (128.109.143.1) Mathematics Department fma00dcr@unccvm.bitnet UNC Charlotte, Charlotte NC Augustus F.

The only problems I recall was the inconsisent declaration of the stklen variable and some minor TC make definitions. The good news is that some of the bugs I noticed in GS 2.0 when compiled with TurboC++ are gone (arcs are drawn correctly and so is escher.ps). Please be more specific and describe the problems you encountered. Gershon
