Short: Ghostscript3.53 data archive, get a bin archive too
Author: GS(Aladdin)/Amiga(Olaf Barthel)/Port(me)
Uploader: Joop.vandeWege@Medew.ENTO.WAU.NL
Type: gfx/show
Replaces: gfx/show/gs353bin.lha
This is the Amiga port of Ghostscript3.53. Ghostscript is a Postscript
interpreter with support for Level 2 PS and PDF. This release includes
most popular printers and fileformats including an updated Amiga display
driver.
This port requires:
- An Amiga equipped Kickstart 2.04 or higher.
- Approx. 4.7 MBytes of hard disk space available.
- A minimum of 1 MByte of chip memory, depending on what you want to do
with the interpreter. Printer output requires at least 2 MBytes of
contiguous memory (any memory, not necessarily chip memory).
- A bunch of Postscript/Ghostscript fonts.
Comments/Suggestions/Bugs to:

Please use a Subject field with the name 'GS353' in it.
Please direct all mail to me except when you're 100% sure it is a GS
problem then you can use the Aladdin email address.

Getting Ghostscript.
Download one of the binary archives which match your CPU. It contains
one binary and a archive containing a patch. This patch is only needed if:
- you have an 040
- and Kickstart 3.1
- and are *NOT* running one of the 040 binaries.
(it fixes a couple of bugs in 3.1. The symptoms are GURU 8..0B. If you get
them then you need SetMathPatch, probably. Read the docs of SetMathPatch)
How to use Ghostscript.
Unpack the archive gs353data.lha to a suitable HD with enough room (~3.5M).
A directory 'Ghostscript' will be created and all files needed are found
within this directory.
Unpack one of the special binary archives to the same HD and the executable
will automatically be placed in the same directory, Ghostscript.
There are two ways to proceed from here.
- Assign Ghostscript: to the directory where you unpacked the archive.
Example: unpack on 'Work:', creates Work:Ghostscript
Assign Ghostscript: Work:Ghostscript
path Ghostscript: add
(Optionally, rename the binary gs_xxx to 'gs')
Now you can call 'gs' from anywhere with or without arguments. If you add
the above fragment (Assign ... add) to your s:user-startup then it will
available everytime you start your computer
- Set the following environment variables:
- GS_LIB, example: setenv GS_LIB=work:ghostscript/data
- GS_DEVICE example: setenv GS_DEVICE=amiga (default)
- GS_OPTIONS example: setenv GS_OPTIONS="-sDEVICE=png16m -r120"
The only required variable is GS_LIB. Now you can copy 'GS' to a place
which is in the AmigaDOS search path.
See the 'Ghostscript/docs' directory for more information, like commandline
options. Some notes:
Watch out for case sensitivity when using commandline options, -sOutputFile
is not equal to -soutputfile !!!!!
Some very useful commandlines with comments in ():
gs -h (outputs small help on most important arguments, and lists all availble
output devices)
gs (gs opens window on WB and use its palette, use 256color WB if possible,
there is a problem with NewIcons, it looks like all pallette entries are
reserved by NewIcons so GS will only display in B/W if you use NewIcons)
gs -sDEVICE=png16m (uses the built-in PNG support instead of window on WB)
gs -sOutputFile=ram:output%02d.png -sDEVICE=png256
(output to files numbered ram:output01.png/ram:output02.png/etc using
the PNG format (8bit))
gs -r120 (use 120dpi as resolution instead of built-in 72, uses heaps of
memory at high values)
Arguments useful for PDF files (and ps documents conforming to DSC ?)
gs -dFirstPage=pagenumber (starts on the given page of the document)
gs -dLastPage=pagenumber (Stops after the given page of the document)
See use.doc/Switches for a complete overview of what is available.
