Um. No, that's not the problem. In fact, the changes were redone ages ago, and most of the work is done by port, based on per-platform settings. The platform must support OREGPAIR in some form, and 5c does not. I have got a 5c that does vlongs, and thus OREGPAIR, but it won't compile ghostscript yet, so it hasn't been released. --e89a8f646ff3fe647a04da643176 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
