- I did. GS 2.5 had not been released when the original article was
- posted. I am working on the 2.5 port now, but will probably not
- post anything until 2.51, which is promised soon. Regarding the
- possible bug in 2.41, I believe the poster was using setup files
- from 2.31 with 2.41, which most certainly causes a crash.

- The current screen driver does work in TT medium res (4 color), although
- the color mapping is messed up. I may add 8 bit color and try to fix the
- color mapping some in 2.51.

-
- GemGS is a GEM shell for ghostscript. I know of at least one person who
- is using gemGS with NVDI, although I do not know which version. I have
- no way to investigate this problem (I have no NVDI), but source is
- included, and anyone who experiences difficulties is welcome to look for
- themselves (I would appreciate knowing if any problems are found).
-
- One busy bee bug is fixed (but there is apparently another), and a
- couple of bugs not mentioned in the previous post have been repaired
- also. I plan to fix the remaining known bugs this weekend and will put
- the new program on lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu. As soon as atari.archive is
- back in working order (i.e. you can see what you want to download), I
- will upload all the latest ghostscript stuff there.
