- : Well, I have problems with ghostscript. I have the font files
- : in usr:lib/ghostscript/fonts, and the binaries in usr:bin.
- : When I CD to the examples directory and say
- : GS -sDEVICE=epson chess.ps
- My comand line is
-
- gs -sDEVICE=epson -sOutputFile=test chess.ps
- Then I copy test to PRT:
- I also use -sOutputFile=PRT: and that also work. But the print is pretty bad.
- One thing that works is to render to gifmono but you can't alter the resolution
- making it useful only for preview. And not even that. The outlines of the
- tables did not print (Output Word for Mac)

- : it starts, thinks for a while, says >>showpage, hit ....
- : and gives me nothing. If I try to specify an output file,
- : I get a rangeerror in get and it dies on me. I have tried the
- : other examples and the other drivers with no success.
- :
- : Stack = 500000
- : Machine = A2000 / A2630 + 4 megs ++ Supra 2 megs ++ WB2.1 ++ various
- : commodities running in the system.

- : Any thoughts, comments, etc. ????
