OK, downloaded it, installed it, looked though the readme, help, etc, etc

But how do I use it????

Do you have a piece of code or something demonstrate how to produce a report through GS.

TIA

Jason

GhostScript is available for a wide variety of systems, inclding Mac, PC and various ?nix flavors from most of the FSF sites (the primary ghostscript site is ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/ghost/aladdin/gs601/ - Walnut Creek at www.cdrom.com is one of many FSF sites that offer it both for download or commercially on CD for a reasonable fee for a number of different platforms). GhostScript is a reliable and easily deployed product, but it isn't a commercial product like Acrobat. Using it requires that you agree to abide by the terms of the FSF license agreement. The current stable version is 6.01, and the ZIP for it is ~5MB. You'll also want GSView version 4.34, also available from FSF sites.
