- I suspect that the original poster was looking for a user-friendly front
- end for Ghostscript, as am I. gs252win, as well as the unix version of
- Ghostscript has an awkward text-based interface which makes it difficult to
- use. Ghostview, which is not available in a PC version, makes it easy to
- pick files to preview with a mouse, page forwards and back, etc. If anyone
- out there knows of a good MS Windows utility to simplify the use of
- Ghostscript, I'd really like to hear about it.
