Hi:
I installed gostscript V.2.6.2 and ghostview V1.5 recently,
I did not get any error message when I compiled these packages, ghostview
could show all the ps files in the example directory, but failed to
show other ps files I got from the Net. Every time I open a ps file
a pop up window says somthing wrong. But these ps files can be printed
by our HP Laser Jet just fine.
I found the example ps file is "%!PS-Adobe-2.0 EPSF-1.2", while
my ps file is "%!PS-Adobe-1.0". Is that the reason ?
Anybody knows how to solve this problem ? Thank you in advance.
