> Russ, have you revised the ghostscript to newest version?

no.  i did update our internal copy to gs 8.00,
but that seemed to break more than it fixed.
they just released 8.11, "the first stable release
since 8.00", whatever that means.  all i know
is that i can't view the intel architecture
manuals using 8.00.  they're all shifted half
a page up off the screen.

i have not been impressed since peter deutsch
handed over the reins.  there used to be a
mailing list for people interested in announcements
about new releases.  we'd get a mail a month
saying "this just came out and fixes such-and-such."
there's no equivalent now, so i never know when
something is worth trying or not, and i haven't been
very aggressive in watching for new releases.

the instructions for pulling in new source
are in /sys/src/cmd/gs/mkfile.  mk try-8.11
should do most of the work.  you may need to
tweak it.
