I have just compiled GS v2.0 and installed the bgi and laserjet drivers that
come with it. I compiled it (after a simple change to ialloc.c) with TurboC++
1.0 and it didn't run properly. I used TurboC 2.0 and it ran fine. The
building of the gs.exe can be slightly troublesome, but it could be easier
with minor tweaking of the makefiles mdos.mak and gdevs.mak. The bgi driver
gives (in my opinion) a nice display. The Panasonic printer you're using
may be compatible (a superset) of one of the printer drivers given. If not,
you'll hafta wait for someone to write one or write one yourself. 

The gs v2.0 source is made very modular (excellent design) so you could use
the drivers given as a model to write your own with minimal effort.

I'm looking for some fonts to go with it. Any ideas anyone? I have ftp
access. Thanx.
