Phillips" Reply-To: antiskid56-cygwin AT yahoo DOT com Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] New Package: pstoedit-3.42 To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit INFO ==== Wolfgang Glunz's pstodedit package (pstoedit-3.42) is now available for cygwin. pstoedit converts Postscript(TM) and PDF files to other vector graphic formats so that they can be edited graphically. It provides xfig-compatible .fig output format as one option. See /usr/share/doc/pstoedit-3.42/pstoedit.htm after package installation for more details on which output formats are supported by pstoedit. The architecture of pstoedit consists of a PostScript frontend which calls a PostScript interpreter (ghostscript) and the individual backends which are plugged into a kind of framework. pstoedit links to and requires the recently uploaded plotutils-2.41 package. In the near future it will also link to libEMF, providing emf output format. More information is available in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/pstoedit-3.42.README. The Web page for the package is: http://www.pstoedit.net/pstoedit . UPDATE ====== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'pstoedit' from the 'Graphics' category. Then click on the 'skip' field next to 'pstoedit' until '3.42' is displayed. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations.
