[comp.lang.postscript] GhostScript PC executable

Howdy Netland !

I have received a copy of the GhostScript distribution package.  Maybe
I'm not as patient as I used to be, but though what I consider a reasonable
amount of effort, I have been unsuccessful at creating the PC executables.

I am only interested in anything that runs on an EGA PC.  I would be 
extremely appreciative if someone who has the appropriate executables
could PKARC/UUENCODE and mail them to me.  I feel useless making this 
request, but I really need these executables as I am writing a fair
amount of PostScript by hand right now, and need a better testing 
environment.

Muchos Thanks

Kelly

Thanks for the anon FTP pointer Erik (erja@daimi.dk)  :-)

I recieved a reference to anonymous FTP from chyde.uwasa.fi (128.214.12.3)
under /pc/pd/printer/gs13exe.arc  and  gs13doc.arc.  This is an almost
complete version of GhostScript V1.3 for the PC running EGA, missing
a file called uglyfont.cp, which I have here.

It works pretty well too, except I am having a problem with the 'show' 
command. Every time I come across a 'show' it seems to dump the status 
of the interpreter and then exits to dos.

Anyone currently running GhostScript got any ideas ?

In (Thanks) Advance

Kelly
