It has finally arrived! GNU Ghostscript 5.50-1!

This is located in cygwin/contrib.

The reason for using GNU Ghostscript is due its use of the
GNU GPL. In the future, we may review the Alladin license
and use that one instead.

NOTE: This program requires files from the xfree86:

(see FAQ: http://xfree86.cygwin.com/faq.html)

I have included the fonts which get installed to the
/usr/share/ghostscript/fonts directory.

You can find documentation in /usr/doc/gs5.50. These are all
html files, so use lynx, w3m or some other browser to view
these files. (NOTE: I have ported lynx and w3m if anyone is
interested)

===================================================================
PLEASE READ THE README FILE: /usr/doc/Cygwin/gs5.50.README
===================================================================

The mirror sites will get this version at least tomorrow.

I checked the mirrors and found at least one mirror (ftp.nas.nasa.gov)
to already have this package.

To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page.  This downloads setup.exe
to your system.

Run setup and answer all of the questions.  I won't ask you to use a
mirror site, because that's all that's currently available. The
'sources.redhat.com' site has had downloading disabled.

Note that if this is the first time that you've run the new GUI version
of setup, it will currently download the whole cygwin net release again.
After this point it will only download what is needed.

If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin
mailing list at:  cygwin AT sources DOT redhat DOT com .  I would appreciate
if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly.
This includes ideas and comments about the setup utility or Cygwin
in general.

If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is
the appropriate place.
