Index to the files in the aladdin subdirectory ============================================== There are two sets of files in this directory. The .tar.gz files have been archived with tar and compressed with gzip.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, ....) tar.gz files ============ PUBLIC The Aladdin Ghostscript Free Public License, which specifies the terms under which Aladdin Ghostscript may be distributed. commprod.doc 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 parent 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 have to cd to gs{N} before unpacking this file. gs###sr4.zip Ghostscript {N} sources part 4 created from ghostscript-{N}gnu.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 gs###w32.zip Ghostscript {N} EXE for MS-Windows Win32s not from any tar.gz file These zip files fit on 1.4M floppy disks in the following arrangement: disk1: gs###ini.zip gs###dos.zip disk2: gs###os2.zip gs###w32.zip gs###win.zip disk3: gs###fn1.zip disk4: gs###fn2.zip gs###sr3.zip disk5: gs###sr1.zip disk6: gs###sr2.zip gs###sr4.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/gsview13.zip
