- Ghostscript 2.4.1 Archives:
-
- gs241ps.zip all support files and sample .ps files
- - includes basic "ugly" font
-
- gs241286.zip gs 2.4.1 executable for 286 or lesser machines
- gs241386.zip gs 2.4 executables for 386/486 machines
- - supports extended memory
-
- You must have gs241ps.zip and either the 286 or 386/486
- executable zip file, depending on target machine
-
- Fonts for gs2.4.1 are the same as for gs2.4
-
- One can make do without the font files as the "ugly" font
- will be substituted automatically for missing fonts. Also,
- without the extended memory version of the program, using
- only the ugly font minimizes the potential for out-of-memory
- due to using too many fonts. This causes failure to see the
- postscript image.
-
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- The executables are the same as on prep.ai.mit.edu in
- directory pub/gnu. Some of the samples are different. Textmode.com
- is my addition to convert from graphics mode to text mode on hercules
- displays, if you get stuck in graphics mode.
-
- Source files are available in prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu.
-
- See file copying for rules on copying and using this
- software.
-
- Devices supported in the executables are vga, ega, vesa,
- epson, bj10e (bubblejet), deskjet, laserjet, and paintjet, and
- others. BGI drivers are not included in these executables, thus
- hercules monitors are not supported. Type gs -h for help. Read
- use.doc for instructions on using gs.
-
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- Hint: Redirection of errors into a file will avoid error
- messages being printed on the screen over the graphics image, for
- example:
-
- gs yourfile.ps > foo
-
- --------------------------------------------------
-
- Version 2.4.1 includes a number of bug fixes. Now
- supports the path names correctly e.g.
- gs c:\dir1\psfile.ps
-
- See release.txt for original release notice for gs2.4
