- You should have read the rest of his posting since ghostview is (as far as I
- know) only available for X-windows. For a PC the thing you need is ghostscript
- which in the PC version includes VGA, EGA and so on as output devices. I.e.
- no separate viewer is needed for the PC while on Unix platforms ghostview is
- not a part of ghostscript but needs ghostscript as well.
- So what you really need for a PC is ghostscript and the related fonts. You'll
- find them in msdos.postscript on SIMTEL:
- 24*.zip - fonts
- 25*.zip - new fonts, replace some of the 2.4 fonts
- gs252*.zip - executables etc
- samples.zip - examples
- Install everything as explained in one of the documentation files (man.doc or
- use.doc don't remember) and if you run under Windows simply associate .ps
- with gswin.exe. That's it. Don't forget to set GS_LIB environment variable.
