Paul Smedley has updated Ghostscript to v8.63. http://www.smedley.info/os2ports/ "Ghostscript for OS/2 & eCS Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language. A PostScript interpreter usually takes as input a set of graphics commands. The output is usually a page bitmap which is then sent to an output device such as a printer or display. PostScript is embedded in many printers. Ghostscript has several main uses: 1. Display a PostScript file (avoid killing trees). 2. Display a PostScript file to decide if you really need to print it (reduce the number of trees killed). 3. Print a PostScript file to a non-PostScript printer (kill more trees). History: * Necessary device support for CUPS is included - be sure to modify path entry in /cups/lib/cups/filter/pstoraster if upgrading CUPS * Added jbig support - fixes some PDFs that previously showed up blank (Oct 10th build) * Compiled with GCC 4.3.2 (Oct 10th build) * Fixed CUPS support (Nov 16th build)" Download Ghostscript 8.63 (Updated 20081116) http://download.smedley.info/gs863os2.zip Please let Paul know if you find this software useful. He needs user feedback to continue work on these projects. He maintains a bug tracker for many projects at http://mantis.smedley.info It just requires a simple registration.
