This is really not a bug report but a query. I couldn't find another place to
discuss this. Question, is there any current public domian implimentation
of Ghostscript for a HP laserjet or QMS printers. If so where can I
access it. Finally are their any public domain fonts available for
Ghostscript.

Recently I got the ghostscript program that I want to use to preview (La)TeX output with encapsulated PostScript. The "doc" files don't tell how I can view more than one page. Is there a document that describes ghostscript more fully ? Where can I get it (by e-mail) ? Also the program generates floating exceptions. Are there patches to the program as distributed on the GNU tape ? Where can I get these ?

In theory I'm writing it. In practice I'm learning PostScript "on the fly".
I'll get back to it in a few days. No, I don't have anything worth
distributing right now.

I have GhostScript 1.0 of Aug 10 88. I wrote a ega/vga driver for Xenix. Would someone like it? One thing lacking in the gx_device_procs struct is a function that restores the display to the mode that was in effect before you ran gs. I added a new field for this purpose. The code gave Xenix's C compiler (which is really Microsoft C 5.something) a headache by typedefing structs that weren't defined. In the end I managed to get around this by removing all the "typedef struct foo_s foo" and putting "struct" in front of every "foo". It wasn't pretty and I may have caused the following bugs in the process. Some example .ps files cause core dumps. I think there are two problems. The first is that if you try to show a space (e.g. book14.ps), igs->path->first_subpath is null and as a result gfill dumps. I verified this by removing the blanks and seeing that it worked. The other dump happens in let[qv].ps. It's also due to a null first_subpath but I can't quite figure out what is happening. If there have been any fixes that deal with this, or a more recent release of ghostscript, please let me know. If someone cares to take the time to explain how the /space logic is suppose to work I would be very grateful.

Does anyone have any information on GhostScript being ported to Windows 3.0? I have heard conflicting rumours on the topic, and I'm hoping it exists (or will exist) and that I can somehow obtain it. Any news of an alternative product/effort would also be appreciated. Thanx.
