This is GS26WGUI			July, 1993

A Command Line Graphical User Interface for the MS Windows program:

	Ghostscript for Windows   Ver. 2.6.0

 (Should also work with Ghostscript for Windows 2.6.1 ... I have not had
 luck getting the GIF file generation of version 2.6.1 to give me GIF
 files my other software would always read successfully.  Your mileage
 may vary.)

Its purpose is to make the use of Ghostscript for Windows more convenient,
and to make its use feasible for the average user.

Ghostscript is a Postscript Interpreter.  It can (1) display, (2) print
on inexpensive printers, and (3) store in graphics image files the Postscript
files (B&W or Coloured) intended to be printed on Postscript printers.

This interface makes the use of the MS Windows version of Ghostscript
much easier.

This is a new revision of this interface software.  It improves on the
interface gswngui2 for Ghostscript for Windows 2.5.2, eliminates a couple 
of bugs, enables the Ghostscript 2.6 device names and adds another feature
or two.

This software is freely redistributable.  It is not to be sold.

Documentation:

The accompanying gs26wgui.wri is a Windows Write file describing use of the
program.  It can be read or printed under Windows Write.  It is 6 pages long.
The images in it may not import properly into Word for Windows - use the
Write program in the Accessories program group of MS Windows to view and
print it.


Ghostscript sources:

The user will have to get the Ghostscript for Windows software from
the Internet, or from a well stocked BBS.

On the Internet, one source of Ghostscript for the PC is:

	wuarchive.wustl.edu

Look under the ftp directory:

	mirrors/win3      

and go digging to see where the software has been stored.

The Windows version of Ghostscript is gs260exe.zip and support files 
may be needed as well.  See my documentation.

A good site for Windows software, and where I found gs260exe.zip is the
Internet site:

	ftp.cica.indiana.edu

somewhere under pub/pc/win3.  Try pub/pc/win3/util.


Visual Basic Runtime Module:

The Visual Basic 2.0 runtime module  vbrun200.dll  will be needed for
this software.  It is available on many BBS's and the Internet.  Under
the cica site above, look under pub/pc/win3/util for the file

	vbrun200.zip

and unzip it.


This will probably be my last version of this interface software.
Hopefully is is bug free and convenient to use.

The Ghostscript program accepts only a limited command line length.
The @filename feature lengthens the possible command line length, although
not without limit.  Multiselecting too many files will generate an error
message.
