Hi all,
This is mostly to the devs (Guy), but FYI for anyone else:
1. If you have JasPer installed on your system and you would like to
use it with GPL Ghostscript, then we must first remove the local copy
and apply a patch:
Who is we? We try not to use this is the book unless it is something
a force of habit from the way I speak. I accidentally used
we before but corrected it before I submitted it. I shall correct it.

PostScript/PDF files back and forth.

consistent with prior versions
