RISC OS port of GPL Ghostscript 8.54
-------------------------------------
This distribution of GhostScript is fully self-contained and completely
replaces earlier versions. Earlier distributions consisted of several archives
that had to be put together. This is no longer the case.

****************************************************************************
* Please read the file !GhostScript.!Help, which contains important        *
* installation instructions, in particular on how to make GhostScript work *
* with the various front-ends and how to allow it to run on VirtualRPC. Do *
* not contact me and ask for support if you have not read the installation *
* instructions.                                                            *
****************************************************************************

This distribution includes the latest version of SharedUnixLib, which is
required by GhostScript. You can find a skeleton !System directory in the
SharedUnixLib directory. Please merge this with your copy of !System using the
System Merge facility (double-click on the "!Boot" application on your hard
disc, then click on "System", then drag the skeleton !System from the
SharedUnixLib directory to the window, then click on "Merge").

Updates of SharedUnixLib can be found at:
  http://www.riscos.info/downloads/gccsdk/sharedunixlib/system.zip

Building from source code
-------------------------
The Sources directory contains the source code to the RISC OS sprite device
created originally by Graham Jones and the GDI device for Samsung GDI printers,
both of which I updated slightly for use with GhostScript 8.5x. It also
contains instructions for building GhostScript for RISC OS on a Linux system.
