Pardon me if this has already been asked, but I am looking for the
program called "GhostScript" put out by GNU. I can find the sources
everywhere, but can't get them to compile. Since it says it works on an
IBM PC, I "assume" that someone somewhere has compiled it and goten it to
work. What I want to know is, are the "executables/binaries" ftp-able from
anywhere? Thanks for any info.

If you have had any experience with ghostscript, please contact me by e-mail. I am able to display the postscript files that were included with the programme but, I am unable to display third party files. Thanks, Ken Besner@watserv1.waterloo.edu

prep.ai.mit.edu :/pub/gnu/ghostscript* is a definite place to down load
ghostscript. If one uses the binary file for msdos, one has to put
main distribution on c:\gs22 and fonts on c:\gs22\fonts.
Generally I am very pleased with ghostscript 2.2. However the following
small postscript file causes hp laserjet 3 without a cartridge to be out of
memory. I have 4 MB memory installed on the laser printer. It will print on
lps40 of DEC connected with mainframe though. Could someone tell me what
problem it is?

It gives some funny error about a bad command -!7 Did you send a message to the person who uploaded it to SIMTEL20? If you don't know who uploaded it send e-mail to me and I'll tell you. Give the uploader a chance to tell you what's wrong before you tell the whole world that the version on SIMTEL20 doesn't work. It does work. Nate spent a lot of time configuring and testing it for many different video displays and printers. Perhaps the real problem is that you don't have the right fonts. Nate just uploaded four large ZIPs of fonts for GS212. Watch comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d for an announcement later today. One of the reasons that I repost uploader's announcements instead of creating the announcement under my name is to make it easy for users to use the "r" (reply) key to send e-mail to the uploader if there is a question or a problem. Please remember there *is* a difference between "r" and "f". The reply gives the uploader a chance to help you by e-mail. The "f" (follow-up) tells the whole world. When there is a problem *I* want to hear about it. As the famous sign in the old corner store says: If you like our [products|work|service], tell others. If you don't, tell us. -- Keith -- Keith Petersen Maintainer of the MSDOS, MISC and CP/M archives at SIMTEL20 [192.88.110.20] Internet: w8sdz@WSMR-SIMTEL20.Army.Mil or w8sdz@vela.acs.oakland.edu Uucp: uunet!umich!vela!w8sdz BITNET: w8sdz@OAKLAND
