Does anyone know of a version of GhostScript 1.4 which has been
compiled for MS-DOS? We have been using version 1.3 (available from
the Simtel archives) for several months to preview graphs rendered
in postscript before inclusion in LaTeX (PCTeX). It would be nice to
be able to view them *after* including them, too, to check on the
placement without wasting paper.
GhostScript 1.3 is also available from prep.ai.mit.edu. The 1.4
version are in beta test, which means you should be prepared to invest
some time porting them to your platform and feeding patches back to
Peter Deutsch. The more help he gets, the sooner 1.4 will be ready
for general consumption. I'm hoping that previewing LaTeX with
included ESP figures will be enough to encourage people to do just
that. Rich
