Ghost on Windows

Download and Setup

Download a Windows build of GPL Ghostscript 8.63. It's a 10meg download (most of the memory being taken up by gsdll32.dll which is about 8.6MB). It is written by PDL vendor Artifex software. (PDL = Page Description Language). Also useful to grab is the graphical interface GSView. This install into C:\~PF\Ghostgum. You will need to add the following to your path:

  1. C:\~PF\gs\gs8.63\bin
  2. C:\~PF\Ghostgum\gsview
