You do need TWO (2) versions of ghostscript. One (the AFPL version for
Win32) for viewing/printing postscript files in Windows and one (gs4.03) to
view images inside Lyx's X11 window! The AFPL version will not install into
the same directory. Neither ghostscript version does no anything from the
other!

Friends,

I've installed Cygwin/XFree86 and LyX version 1.16fix3 on my Win2k machine.
I also installed gs-4.03.

I'm having printing problems which I think is because I don't have GSView
installed.  The following is from the GSView web site:

GSview 4.0 has been released and is available from the directory
ftp://mirror.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/ghost/ghostgum/
Specific files are:
�       �       gsv40w32.exe Win32 self extracting archive
�       �       gsv40os2.zip OS/2 archive
�       �       gsview-4.0-1.i386.rpm Linux RPM
�       �       gsview-4.0.i386.tar.gz Linux executable
�       �       gsv40src.zip Source archive
GSview requires AFPL Ghostscript. You must download AFPL Ghostscript
separately. See Obtaining AFPL Ghostscript 7.00. For Win32, obtain and
install Ghostscript, then run the GSview self extracting archive
gsv40w32.exe. For OS/2, unzip gsv40os2.zip then read the GSview Readme.htm
file.

Note that it says that GSview requires AFPL Ghostscript.

My question:  is AFPL Ghostscript going to overwrite gs-4.03?  Should I go
ahead and install AFPL Ghostscript 7.00. and gsv40w32.exe?

I need to get to the point of printing out the documentation.  Reading it on
screen is hard on the eyes.

Thanks for any help.

Louis
