Get the file "gs861w32.exe" (latest version) from one of the links at <http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/gpl861.htm <http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/%7Eghost/doc/GPL/gpl861.htm>>. Double-click gs861w32.exe and then click the "Setup" button in the WinZip self-extractor. A progress bar will show files being unpacked to a temporary location. The GPL Ghostscript Setup dialogue that appears is pretty easy to follow: I would @ Change "C:\Program Files\gs" to "C:\Program Files\Ghostscript\gs". @ Mark "All Users". @ Change "Ghostscript" to "Ghostscript\Player". @ Leave "Install Ghostscript Fonts" marked as is. Click "Install" and all your troubles are over! Now go to <http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/get49.htm <http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/%7Eghost/gsview/get49.htm>> and download the "gsv49w32.exe" file. This is a PostScript and PDF viewer that renders and displays PostScript on-screen and lets you view its contents, print particular pages, etc. This file installs in a similar manner but make its installation directory "C:\Program Files\Ghostscript\Ghostgum". Change the Start Menu location from "Ghostgum" to "Ghostscript\Ghostgum".** Now you have all your Ghostscript assets together! Regards, Hedley ** The developer of the Ghostgum viewer is a fellow Australian who is making a very weak pun involving the ghostgum trees found along watercourses and elsewhere. -- Hedley Finger 28 Regent Street Camberwell VIC 3124 Australia Tel. +61 3 9809 1229 Fax.
