Great! I can put the whole 7.05 dir together (Makefile and all) into a zip
and put it up on the website. Sadly, I don't have time to do more with it.
My volunteer hands are pretty full with PythonD.

Double great!!! I hope you can help us here. Please keep in mind that any
graphics application that hopes to run over WindowsNT (including 2000) must
remain at VGA resolution because Micro$soft blocks all hard PCI access. VESA
modes are not permitted. Good cracks here would be most welcome.

No code stripped out. Just the default viewer set to LPT1 (kludge).

I'm a bit stupid here. lout??? huh???

But yes, it would be fantastic to have a real ongoing (Windows2000-supported
:-)) ghostscript for DJGPP.


hmmmm?
