Hello World --
I am very pleased with ghostscript 2.2. I have a TeX file using regular cm
fonts. I converted to DVI and then PS. I have the PS file printed on
HP laserjet III w/o a cartridge and also on lps40 of DEC. I can not find the
difference.
Now I have some minor difficulties:
1__
CC0=$(COMPDIR)\tcc -m$(MM) -c -I$(INCDIR)
The ``-I$(INCDIR)' is added by me, otherwise there is an error
``can not open stdio.h''. ? With it, I successfully compiled for
CPU_TYPE=86
2__
I found that speed to print a file is slow, so I think I should
change CPU_TYPE to 386 of my msdos machine.
But with the single change, there is an error message:
``masm /DFOR80386 iutilasm.asm
can not change processor in segment'' ?
This was the same problem I had with ghostscript 2.1.1. I found that
with /DFOR80386, it will work. But I don't see any difference in speed.
I believe without the switch, it will not take the advantage that the
machine is 386.
3__
I compiled a gs.exe for vga and one for hplj. but I would like to compile
just one binary and use switches: I would like to do:
gs -vga foo.ps
gs -hplaserjet foo.ps. How ?
PS: 1. ghostscript 2.2 is ftp'able from prep.ai.mit.edu ./pub/gnu/ghost*
2. I suggest gnu.ghostscript.bug will run a monthly posting
``Known Bugs and Fixes''. So that people will not post that
I don't if this has been discussed but I found ......
3. There is a binary file for msdos, but that is for vga, epson... And
you need to place main distribution in C:\gs22 and fonts in
C:\gs22\fonts.
