#6132 — Recent version of GhostScript?

SubjectRecent version of GhostScript?
Message-ID<587bddb3e9rhnews@dsl.pipex.com>
Does anyone know if there is a port of GhostScript version 9.05 or later
for RISC OS?  I want to use it to calculate ink costs for printing and at
the moment I can only do that on Windows as the RISC OS version I have
(GhostScript 8.71) does not have the necessary device type.

I've done a port of ghostscript 9.26. I can make it available for download
at some point over the weekend.

Ghostscript 9.26 can be downloaded from
https://www.riscosports.co.uk/downloads.html. It uses more memory than
previous versions so RISC OS 5.2x is recommended. This version also
includes the gpcl6 and gxps commands. These have only been briefly tested.

Hi Chris,

Downloaded and tested by printing a couple of documents using !PS3 
driver/PDFMaker/PrintPDF and it seems ok on ARMX6 5.27 19-Jun-2020  ROM.

Thanks once again for supporting us all.

I've had a breif play with some ancient postscript files, and I'm afraid 
it's not as good as my previous version 8.71 - RISC OS 1.02 (18-Apr-06)

There were a couple more failures to process in postscript engine abd one 
ps file had incorrect colours. Most of the ones which displayed had much 
fainter lines and text than the old version, but this could be down to a 
setting somewhere.
