Index to the files in the AFPL subdirectory
==============================================

Each version of Ghostscript is stored in a separate directory.
For example, AFPL Ghostscript 6.50 is in the subdirectory 'gs650'.

Within each Ghostscript subdirectory there are two sets of files. 
The .tar.gz files have been archived with tar and compressed with gzip.  
These programs are available on almost all Unix systems; DOS/Windows 
versions of them are also available.  The .zip files in this directory 
have been created from the tar.gz files.

The file names below have {N} or ### in them in some places.  Replace {N}
with the desired version number of Ghostscript (e.g., 3.0, 3.01, 3.1, ...);
replace ### with the version number spelled out as exactly 3 digits (e.g.,
300, 301, 310, ....)

Font files in the 'gsNNN' directories are links to files in the 
'fonts' directory.

Instructions on how to obtain AFPL Ghostscript are available from

tar.gz files
============
PUBLIC		The Aladdin Free Public License, which specifies
		  the terms under which AFPL Ghostscript may be
		  distributed.
Commprod.htm	Some additional explanation about commercial distribution of
		  AFPL Ghostscript.
ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz
		The main source code for AFPL Ghostscript {N}.  You will
		  need this if you are going to compile Ghostscript.
		  This also includes all the documentation, examples,
		  utilities, scripts, etc., except for a few that are
		  convered by the GNU License (see below).
ghostscript-{N}jpeg.tar.gz
		The Independent JPEG Group library source code.  You will
		  also need this if you are going to compile Ghostscript.
		  Starting with Ghostscript version 3.12, this name is
		  a link to the 3rdparty directory, which contains a verbatim
		  copy of the IJG distribution.
		Note that this file, unlike all the other archives, does
		  not include gs{N} in the file names.  You will have to
		  cd to gs### before unpacking this file.
ghostscript-{N}gnu.tar.gz
		GNU-Licensed device drivers and utility programs for
		  AFPL Ghostscript {N}.
		**************** IMPORTANT NOTE ****************
		Since AFPL Ghostscript itself is not GNU-Licensed,
		  if you distribute AFPL Ghostscript further, you
		  must keep this GNU-Licensed code separate from all
		  the rest of the code (if you distribute this
		  GNU-Licensed code at all), and you must not
		  distribute any executables that incorporate both
		  this GNU-Licensed code and any other part of AFPL
		  Ghostscript.
ghostscript-fonts-std-{N}.tar.gz
		Fonts equivalent to the standard 35 PostScript fonts.
		  You will need this if you are going to run Ghostscript,
		  unless you have a full set of (Type 1) PostScript fonts
		  from some other source (e.g., some X Windows
		  installations).
ghostscript-fonts-other-{N}.tar.gz
		Other fonts -- Hershey fonts, free Cyrillic and Japanese
		  Kana fonts, Bitstream Charter, Utopia, and a couple of
		  URW fonts.  You probably don't need this.
