I know that this has taken a while, but I finally got a beta version of
Ghostscript 2.52 ready. It can be obtained via anon ftp from
lifshitz.ph.utexas.edu (pub/atari/ghostscript/beta/gs252b.zoo).  Please
do not upload this code to any other archives. When it seems that there
are no major bugs, I will upload it to atari.archive.

I am particularly interested in whether the 8-bit color code in the
screen driver works (in TT low-res I guess, or perhaps some graphics
card). The driver does not yet set its own palette, but it searches the
available palette for the nearest color, so the colors should be
something close to correct (unlike previous versions).  Of course,
reports of any other bugs are welcome also.

For the majority of users, GS 2.52 is not significantly different from
2.41, except that a few command line options have been added (select
paper size and band-printing buffer size) and the color screen driver is
hopefully a bit better.
