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 The .tar.gz files have been archived with tar and compressed with gzip.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/
