I don't know how actively the MS-Windows version of Ghostscript is being
developed, but it occurs to me that it would be a Very Good Thing if
gswin could act as an OLE server.  This would improve the quality of
life significantly for all those millions of users of WordPerfect for
Windows, Word for Windows, Ami, PageMaker, and other wordprocessors and
desktop publishers who now have to stumble along, working with graphics
they can't see, whenever they embed an EPS figure in one of their
documents.  (Yes, sometimes we're lucky enough to be given an EPS figure
with a preview bitmap in it, but that makes the files very big and
is usually of poor quality).

If anybody from Alladin is reading this, what do you think?
