- In addition to being able to FTP the source code for Ghostview from
- ftp.cs.wisc.edu, you may now also get the binaries. The sources are in:
-
- ftp.cs.wisc.edu:/pub/X/ghostview-1dot4.share.Z
-
- The binaries (including the Athena widget shareable images and Ghostscript
- 2.5.2) are in:
-
- ftp.cs.wisc.edu:/pub/X/ghostview-exe/VAX-VMS.share.Z
-
- If you request the files without the ".Z" suffix, the FTP server at that end
- will uncompress the file for you so that you receive the uncompressed version.
-
- Both files are in VMS_SHARE format. The binaries are packed with MFTU. You do
- not, however, need MFTU to unpack them. The MFTU executable and a command
- procedure to do the unpacking are included in the file containing the binaries.
- This file is VMS_SHARE'd with a mutant version that can transfer executables
- properly. Thus to unpack it, once you've FTP'ed it, all you have to do is:
-
- $ @vax-vms.share
- $ @aaaunpack.com
-
- (and then clean up those files and the two *.mft files that will be left over).
