Index to the files in the aladdin subdirectory ============================================== Each version of Ghostscript is stored in a separate directory. For example, Aladdin Ghostscript 5.03 is in the subdirectory 'gs503'. Within each Ghostscript subdirectory there are two sets of files. The .tar.gz files have been archived with tar and compressed with gzip. These programs are available on almost all Unix systems; MS-DOS versions of them are also available. The .zip files in this directory have been created from the tar.gz files. The file names below have {N} or ### in them in some places. Replace {N} with the desired version number of Ghostscript (e.g., 3.0, 3.01, 3.1, ...); replace ### with the version number spelled out as exactly 3 digits (e.g., 300, 301, 310, ....) Font files in the 'gsNNN' directories are links to files in the 'fonts' directory. Instructions on how to obtain Aladdin Ghostscript are available from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ tar.gz files ============ PUBLIC The Aladdin Ghostscript Free Public License, which specifies the terms under which Aladdin Ghostscript may be distributed. Commprod.htm Some additional explanation about commercial distribution of Aladdin Ghostscript. ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz The main source code for Aladdin Ghostscript {N}. You will need this if you are going to compile Ghostscript. This also includes all the documentation, examples, utilities, scripts, etc., except for a few that are convered by the GNU License (see below). ghostscript-{N}jpeg.tar.gz The Independent JPEG Group library source code. You will also need this if you are going to compile Ghostscript. Starting with Ghostscript version 3.12, this name is a link to the 3rdparty directory, which contains a verbatim copy of the IJG distribution. Note that this file, unlike all the other archives, does not include gs{N} in the file names. You will have to cd to gs### before unpacking this file. ghostscript-{N}gnu.tar.gz GNU-Licensed device drivers and utility programs for Aladdin Ghostscript {N}. **************** IMPORTANT NOTE **************** Since Aladdin Ghostscript itself is not GNU-Licensed, if you distribute Aladdin Ghostscript further, you must keep this GNU-Licensed code separate from all the rest of the code (if you distribute this GNU-Licensed code at all), and you must not distribute any executables that incorporate both this GNU-Licensed code and any other part of Aladdin Ghostscript. ghostscript-{N}dll.tar.gz The additional source modules for compiling and linking Aladdin Ghostscript {N} as a MS Windows DLL. ghostscript-fonts-std-{N}.tar.gz Fonts equivalent to the standard 35 PostScript fonts. You will need this if you are going to run Ghostscript, unless you have a full set of (Type 1) PostScript fonts from some other source (e.g., some X Windows installations). ghostscript-fonts-other-{N}.tar.gz Other fonts -- Hershey fonts, free Cyrillic and Japanese Kana fonts, Bitstream Charter, Utopia, and a couple of URW fonts. You probably don't need this. ghostscript-{N}msdos.tar.gz -or- ghostscript-{N}pc.tar.gz All the files you need to run Ghostscript on MS-DOS or MS Windows, including executables, run-time support files, and documentation. (Does NOT include fonts.) ghostscript-{N}-{N'}.diff.gz A context diff between versions N and N'. This covers only the files in ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz, not the ones in dll or gnu. zip file ======== gs###fn1.zip Ghostscript {N} standard fonts created from ghostscript-fonts-std-{N}.tar.gz gs###fn2.zip Ghostscript {N} other fonts created from ghostscript-fonts-other-{N}.tar.gz gs###sr1.zip Ghostscript {N} sources part 1 created from ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz gs###sr2.zip Ghostscript {N} sources part 2 created from ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz gs###sr3.zip Ghostscript {N} sources part 3 created from ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz gs###ini.zip Ghostscript {N} ini files and documentation created from ghostscript-{N}msdos.tar.gz or created from ghostscript-{N}pc.tar.gz or gs###dos.zip Ghostscript {N} EXE for MS-DOS 8086 and 80386 created from ghostscript-{N}msdos.tar.gz or created from ghostscript-{N}pc.tar.gz or Note that starting with release 3.33, this file only includes the MS-DOS 80386 EXE and does not include the MS-DOS 8086 EXE. gs###os2.zip Ghostscript {N} EXE for OS/2 2.1 or Warp not from any tar.gz file gs###win.zip Ghostscript {N} EXE for MS-Windows created from ghostscript-{N}msdos.tar.gz or created from ghostscript-{N}pc.tar.gz Note that the most recent version is 4.03. gs###w32.zip Ghostscript {N} EXE for MS-Windows Win32s created from ghostscript-{N}pc.tar.gz jpegXXXX.zip JPEG sources zlibXXXX.zip Zlib compression library sources lpngXXX.zip Libpng library sources These zip files fit on 1.4M floppy disks in the following arrangement: disk1: gs###ini.zip gs###w32.zip disk2: gs###dos.zip gs###win.zip disk3: gs###fn1.zip disk4: gs###fn2.zip disk5: gs###sr1.zip disk6: gs###sr2.zip disk7: gs###sr3.zip gs###os2.zip disk8: jpegXXXX.zip zlibXXXX.zip lbpngXXX.zip To run Aladdin Ghostscript on a PC you need gs###ini.zip, gs###fn1.zip and one of gs###dos.zip, gs###os2.zip, gs###win.zip or gs###w32.zip. GSview, a previewer for MS-Windows or OS/2 based on Aladdin Ghostscript is available in the directory ghost/rjl/
