I know nothing about Ruby, and its not on any of my systems. AFAIK, ps2pdf on Windows is identical to pstopdf on Linux (and OSX). It (they?) are distributed with gs, not ConTeXt, and call gs, no Ruby involved. I have no idea why it has two names. Maybe I've missed something. If you are trying to accomplish something that the Ruby version offers ... I can't help you there. If you are simply converting [e]ps to pdf, try ps2pdf and see if you get what you want. pstopdf.rb is a more extensive version of the eps to pdf converter in texutil.pl and uses GS for the conversion; however, pstopdf has a couple of extra features, like cropping, aggresive clean up of code, taking care of platform differences. pstopdf.rb is also used by pstopdf.pdf i.e. a graphical user interface to ps to pdf conversion pstopdf.rb can also watch folders and do automatic conversions BTW, the manual can be downloaded from out site.

Re: Re[2]: [NTG-context] resolution
I recently had the same question with my MikTeX / gs /WinXP installation. It seems that pstopdf is nowhere on my machine. There is epstopdf, a different thing, but it doesn't do what pstopdf does. pstopdf is just a simple batch file pointing to gs, with certain options specified. I'm about to get around to simply rewriting the Unix version of pstopdf for DOS. Unless someone has already done it anyone?? -Gary - Original Message - From: "Giuseppe Bilotta" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2003 6:29 AM Subject: Re[2]: [NTG-context] resolution > Saturday, October 25, 2003 Severin Obertuefer wrote: > > > i get an error when I try this: "pstopdf" can not be found ... > > I use MS Windows and Miktex.
