In article <10076@accuvax.nwu.edu> kath@delta.eecs.nwu.edu (William L. Kath) writes: Does anyone know of a version of GhostScript 1.4 which has been compiled for MS-DOS? We have been using version 1.3 (available from the Simtel archives) for several months to preview graphs rendered in postscript before inclusion in LaTeX (PCTeX). It would be nice to be able to view them *after* including them, too, to check on the placement without wasting paper. GhostScript 1.3 is also available from prep.ai.mit.edu. The 1.4 version are in beta test, which means you should be prepared to invest some time porting them to your platform and feeding patches back to Peter Deutsch. The more help he gets, the sooner 1.4 will be ready for general consumption. I'm hoping that previewing LaTeX with included ESP figures will be enough to encourage people to do just that.
