macgs-v1.0-files.sit — Ghostscript files and documentation
macgs-v1.0-68k.sit — the application compiled for 68020 or better
macgs-v1.0-ppc.sit — the application compiled for PPC machines
macgs-v1.0-fonts.sit — the standard Ghostscript 3.0 fonts
macgs-v1.0-src.sit — the source files
These files are StuffIt archives. If you do not have a program to expand these, you should get the free StuffIt Expander program from your favorite Macintosh archive.
[ 1 ] Unstuff macgs-v1.0-files.sit. It will create a folder named Ghostscript on your disk.
[ 2 ] Unstuff one of the two application files, macgs-v1.0-68k.sit or macgs-v1.0-ppc.sit into the Ghostscript folder. Remember to only unstuff one of them! The Finder gets confused if you have more than one version of an application on a disk.
[ 3 ] Unstuff macgs-v1.0-fonts.sit into the Ghostscript folder as well. This exactly the same collection of fonts as ghostscript-fonts-std-3.0.tar.gz, just in a format most Macintosh users can handle.
You will only need macgs-v1.0-src.sit if you are planning on compiling the program yourself. See the chapter "Building It" for more details.
Starting
Launch the application. By default, it will show you the Ghostscript console window, where you can see messages to and from Ghostscript. After a few seconds, all initialization will be done and you will see the ‘GS>’ prompt in the console window. You don’t actually have to wait for the prompt to begin using the program, anything that needs to wait for the prompt will do so automatically if you do it too early.
Getting Help
The program makes extensive use of Balloon Help. Turn it on and explore!
