Does anybody have ) an update on this subject? ftp site? ) ) rjw9917@bcsaic.boeing.com Someone ported GhostScript 2.1 (I think) to MS WIN. However, it was VERY flakey. It would routinely not work on trivial postscript examples which worked in the DOS/UNIX version. I don't think there will be an 'official' port to windows any time soon. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin O.
