A.F.P.L Ghostscript 8.00 for 68020 compatible
Amigas released today. For printing + viewing and
converting PS and PDF docs, eg 24 bit rgb printing
via Turboprint, 24 bit rgb Cybergraphics viewers
and HAM8 viewer for AGA machines.
click for full info, this program doesnt cost anything!
A.F.P.L Ghostscript 8.00 released today!
This contains a major fixing of the Turboprint devices to make
them compliant with Ghostscript 8. Now you can print PS and PDF
in commercial quality 24 bit rgb via the Turboprint devices.
Brand new PS + PDF viewing options have been written from scratch to
enable viewing in truecolour via graphics cards (Cybergraphics and
hopefully Picasso too). To know if you can use these viewers
type "version cybergraphics.library full" from a shell, if you
get a meaningful reply then the truecolour viewers are available.
The Cybergraphics viewers have only been tested in depth (with success)
on 2 graphics cards and superficially on 2 other cards so problems
could occur, if so email me: whoosh777@blueyonder.co.uk and I will
try to fix any problems.
Also written are 6 brand new AGA viewers for PS and PDF, including
a HAM8 custom screen viewer for 262144 colour viewing, also
present is a colour WB viewer window.
I am interested also in feedback positive or negative of
whether the viewers function on Pegasos and A1.
<tr>This is an optimised FPU noixemul 68020 compile, I will do
a no-FPU version over the next few days.
