Index to the files in the AFPL subdirectory
==============================================
Each version of Ghostscript is stored in a separate directory.
For example, AFPL Ghostscript 6.50 is in the subdirectory 'gs650'.
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The .tar.gz files have been archived with tar and compressed with gzip.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; DOS/Windows
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 AFPL Ghostscript are available from
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
tar.gz files
============
PUBLIC The Aladdin Free Public License, which specifies
the terms under which AFPL Ghostscript may be
distributed.
Commprod.htm Some additional explanation about commercial distribution of
AFPL Ghostscript.
ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz
The main source code for AFPL 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
AFPL Ghostscript {N}.
**************** IMPORTANT NOTE ****************
Since AFPL Ghostscript itself is not GNU-Licensed,
if you distribute AFPL 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 AFPL
Ghostscript.
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.
zip/exe file
============
gs###src.zip Ghostscript {N} sources
created from ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz
gs###os2.zip Ghostscript {N} EXE for OS/2 2.1 or Warp
not from any tar.gz file
gs###w32.exe Ghostscript {N} EXE for MS-Windows Win32
compiled from sources in ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz
jpegXXXX.zip JPEG sources
zlibXXXX.zip zlib compression library sources
lpngXXX.zip libpng library sources
GSview, a previewer for MS-Windows or OS/2 based on AFPL Ghostscript
is available in the directory ../ghostgum/
