Gsview 5.0 Download REPACK
Nadja Norrington
OK managed to get a register code; use it once and hey presto away you go. BUT the code is written o a local gsview.ini which also incorporates named drive letters. Move your USB stick to another host machine where it will very likely be named differently and gsview.ini is suddenly broken -- you have to supply the reg code again. Very VERY annoying; not true portable freeware, at all ...
GSview 4.0 has been released and isavailable from the directory
Specific files are:
- gsv40w32.exe Win32 self extracting archive
- gsv40os2.zip OS/2 archive
- gsview-4.0-1.i386.rpm Linux RPM
- gsview-4.0.i386.tar.gz Linux executable
- gsv40src.zip Source archive
Download and install the most recent version of AFPL Ghostscript and GSview available for your client computer. Make note of the installation directory you use for GSview (usually c:\program files\ghostgum\gsview\gsprint.exe). The default install options are sufficient. At the time of this article, I used AFPL Ghostscript 8.54 Win32 and GSview 4.8 Win32 on a Windows XP SP2 client.
You will need a postscript viewer like "ghostscript" to viewpostscript files. I searched using the "archie" search engineavailable at the RU web site (keyword "gsview") and found many siteswhere the software resides. I've sucessfully down-loaded the requisitesoftware for my Windows-95 PC at home from the ftp.cs.umn.edu archive.What would be even nicer is a latex -> html translator or someother such (with typesetting for equations)... oh well.An ftp/web site for MACs has been provided by your classmate AllenOnweller:
- unzip.exe (compression/decompression program)
- gsview14.zip (a bunch of stuff... decompress and read README.GV)
- gs353ini.zip (library files)
- gs353dos.zip (did not load this one for windows)
- gs353os2.zip (did not load this one for windows)
- gs353w32.zip MS-Windows Win32 Aladdin Ghostscript
- gs353win.zip MS-Windows 3.1 Aladdin Ghostscript
- gs353fn1.zip Aladdin Ghostscript font files (did not load these)
Here are the two ftp sites and directories for unzip and gsview:
- ftp.cs.umn.edu -> /pub/typesetting/postscript/aladdin/ (gsviewstuff)
- ftp.cs.umn.edu -> /dept/users/dkim/pc/archive-utility/unzip.exe (decmompression program)
By default, GSview is installed in the directory c:\Ghostgum, which creates the sub-directories c:\Ghostgum\gsview, c:\Ghostgum\pstotext and c:\Ghostgum\pstoedit. The GSview executable is c:\Ghostgum\gsview\gsview32.exe.
If you don't like automatic installation programs, it is possible to install GSview and Ghostscript manually.For Ghostscript, read the file gsN.NN\doc\Install.htm. For GSview, read the file gsviewen.hlp
