Hello, netters! This is a reminder that the supplied version of the MSDOS Ghostscript does not supports bgi drivers, and the supplied version of gs386 does not support either the vesa (SVGA) drivers. That means that a) the gs386 CANNOT work with SVGA at all; b) the gs cannot be used with SVGA since the calling syntax is not included in documentation (if it is included, it cannot be found at least). Yes, I RTFM. So I humbly suggest to the author of this excellent software to give a chance to the user and include those drivers that is legally and technically possible in the official distribution. A hint: While it is not deadly difficult to compile gs, as well as I know 386-mode compilers usually reserve the copywrite of the compiled executables, so I cannot expect some kind user will post a compiled by him version. A final note: the vesa version of gs kills my computer with the supplied vesa driver (et4000). However, the driver from prodesigner works(my card isnot Prodesigner though). And gs -sDEVICE=vesa -g1024x768 does not... Best regards, Ilya
