Ghostscript

Ghostscript for OS/2 & eCS

Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language. A PostScript interpreter usually takes as input a set of graphics commands. The output is usually a page bitmap which is then sent to an output device such as a printer or display. PostScript is embedded in many printers.

Ghostscript has several main uses:

1. Display a PostScript file (avoid killing trees).
2. Display a PostScript file to decide if you really need to print it (reduce the number of trees killed).
3. Print a PostScript file to a non-PostScript printer (kill more trees).

History:

• Necessary device support for CUPS is included - be sure to modify path entry in /cups/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster if upgrading CUPS
• Please, Please read the included readme.os2 for tips on getting this build to work with GSView before emailing me saying it doesn't work!
