Directories: whoosh vs unix:
With the official unix approach GS will refuse
to run unless it finds:
Ghostscript:share/ghostscript/8.00/lib/gs_init.ps
|
Easy to remember, eh?
Give me a break!
With the whoosh777 approach, GS8 just needs GS8Data:gs_init.ps,
if GS8Data: hasn't been assigned a requester will appear.
Likewise with the official unix approach fonts will *not* be loaded unless
they are in Ghostscript:share/ghostscript/fonts
So if you have the Ghostscript: assign but dont have that
precise path to the fonts, then the traditional GS wont run and wont tell you why
(eg no requester).
With the whoosh approach the fonts just need to be in GS8Fonts:
and a requester will appear if the assign hasn't been done.
The whoosh approach is the normal smooth+nice Amiga approach.
The unix approach imposes an impossibly complicated directory structure on the
unfortunate long suffering unix user.
