[Freedos-user] How to use Ghostscript

2005-08-12 Thread Blair Campbell
I am just wondering how Ghostcript is used; like what commands can I
type, can I zoom in on a page, etc  All I get when I type help at
the GS> prompt is type postscript commands or quit to exit.  What are
the postscript commands??  I would REALLY like to know how to zoom in
(if I can), as this is the most important thing to me.  Also, how do I
use GS to print to one of the devices (like the laserjet device)?

I would like to know all of this because I am writing a simple GS
launcher for GDScript in GEM, to make it easier to use than the
confusing (at least I find) command prompt.

[Freedos-user] Announce: New version of KC (KEYB compiler) and introducing KLIB (KEYB librarian)

2005-08-12 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,

I'd like to announce the new version of the tools you use to create customized 
keyboard layouts for FD-KEYB:
KC 2.0:  Compiles the layouts created in the "natural" KEY language into a KL 
file, useable by KEYB
KLIB 1.0:  Used to group KL files into libraries (e.g. KEYBOARD.SYS) of KL 
files.

So there won't be the need to have several separate KL files any longer, but a 
single KEYBOARD.SYS file.

Then KL files created by KC 2.0 are slightly different from those created by 
the KC 1.X series, but the changes in the KEY files are small: re-sort the data 
section ascending by codepage and re-compile.
In order to use the so-created KL files, or to pack them with KLIB, or in order 
to use the libraries, you'll need the forthcomming KEYB 2.0 pre-release 3. It 
will be released tomorrow.

Changelog for KC:
- ADD: KL files can implement a flag to request KEYB to load the Japanese 
extensions (required to operate KEYB in Japan)
- CHANGE: Scancodes in KEYS: sections have to be sorted ascending by scancode
- FIX: A minor problem with the FLAGS= option
- FIX: KC now returns error codes as exit code: same number for syntax error, 
and 100+same number for critical error. 0 is SUCCCESS
- REMOVE: KL files are no longer allowed to request KEYB to chain interrupt 9h

About KLIB:
With KLIB you can CREATE a new library, where you specify the manufacturer name 
and a brief description (they can also be specified in the commandline).
Then you can list, add or remove KL files to the library.
Finaly you may want to "close" the library, making it read-only and no longer 
editable.
You can check the error status in the exit code.

I attach the LSM files, and have submitted the help files for HTML-Help to be 
upgraded as corresponds.

You can download KC/KLIB from:

[Freedos-user] OpenGEM GUI goes German! Official release today...

2005-08-12 Thread Shane M. Coughlan
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

- - OpenGEM Deutsch is now available (12/8/05)

Thanks to the heroic work of Thorsten Franke, OpenGEM Deutsch is now
complete and is officially released! This German language version of
OpenGEM is almost identical to OpenGEM Core, though it has a slightly
less modern desktop and includes more driver files. It features drag and
drop support, a word processor, and is 100% compatible with the English
versions of OpenGEM. You can download it from http://gem.shaneland.co.uk

Thorsten is officially in charge of OpenGEM Deutsch, and will be working
to develop both this software, and improve the English version of OpenGEM.

Regards

Shane
