Is Aladdin Ghostscript selling successfuly ?
I mean I haven't heard of it selling somewhere as commercial software.
(WalMart :-), Office Depot or just any e-commerce site )
If we take Europe, people developing Aladdin Ghostscript probably should be
interested much more in Mandrake then Mandrake in Aladdin... You can give
them this sentence as input from users' side.
May be you can include it on Commercial CD (is that your deluxe pack?), or
try to make special arrangement with Aladdin.
If you never complain, you never get the answer!
You have convinienced me to write a letter to these guys.
As I mentioned already Ghostscript was the program which impressed me a lot,
and made me open to UNIX world.
