Hi all,
I miss the file gs_init.ps in gs9.05. I used to set up the default paper size to A4 instead of letter with this file. How can it be done now? Many thanks in advance!

By default Ghostscript now uses a ROM file system on all platforms. As a
reuslt gs_init.ps is now located in the ROM file system.

If you want to use a modified gs_init.ps you cna rebuild Ghostscript
with that modification, or you can tell Ghostscript to use a modified
Gereic Resource directory. The easiest way to do that is to set -I/<path
to resources>

Or you could simply set -sPAPERSIZE=a4

Ah :-) ! You're probably right. Bounced right past my outstretched glove.
(All I could come up with was "Geriatric," clearly way off base :-) .)

Thanks. And cheers, -- tlvp
