Hi list, here is a link to the latest DOS version of Ghostscript. The font packets seem to be identical for versions 6 and 7 and for DOS and Linux binaries.
Note that these files from Poland will work with texts in East European languages. This was not the case with links published earlier on the Arachne list. It is NOT necessary to install GS into the directory C:\GS if you do not like that. But you have to use the -I parameter on the command line to tell GS in which path to look for binaries, scripts and fonts. In order to preview PDF or PS files I recommend the script packet ps_view that is also available at the archives below. Regards Christof Lange ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- On www.ghostscript.com there is note: "MS-DOS is no longer supported by AFPL Ghostscript. See Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 for a 32-bit DOS EXE" In fact, GS for DOS is NOT dead. It's being compiled by Piotr Strzelczyk from Poland. Available for download - the latest version is 7.05: 1. ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/GUST/contrib/PS-supp 2. ftp://ftp.gust.org.pl/TeX/GUST/contrib/PS-supp/ 3. Author's FTP - rather slow, even in Poland ftp://ftp.eps.gda.pl/gsX.XX/gsXXXYYY.zip Piotr is in communication with Alladin to make MS-DOS port back to main distro. ________________________________________________________________ Ceskobratrska cirkev evangelicka - Betlemska kaple na Zizkove Prokopova 4/216, 130 00 Praha 3, Czech Republic Tel.
