- as a footnot to the above, the easiest installation of the
- ghostscript/ghostview package i could find is to get the gs binaries
- out of disk b5 of the SLS distribution
- (tsx:/pub/linux/SLS/b5/ghostscr.taz), the ghostview patch from
- sunsite:/pub/Linux/Incoming/ghostview.patch and the regular ghostview
- package and ghostscript fonts package from prep.ai.mit.edu, or
- preferably somewhere else...
-
- note that these last two are not necessary for all installations,
- specifically, ghostscript alone with no fonts or even ghostview is
- sufficient to print and preview (in X only, with a illegible but
- usefull full page view) a dvi file. ghost view will offer more
- flexible viewing of postscript, but is, again not necessary if you
- only do dvi, as xdvi does a better job for this purpose.
