You're joking. First of all I am not a liar, and secondly, Ghostscript and Ghostview are tricky to set up correctly. I know -- I've done it a time or three. There's an arcane GUI configurator that isn't exceptionally well designed, and once it's working it still wonks out on maybe 1 in 10 .ps and .eps files you come across ... which is still better than being able to view none of them, mind you. Nonetheless there's a world of difference between the GS tools and say Adobe Acrobat Reader in terms of setup and use; the latter you just run an installer and then find a pdf to double-click; no other steps necessary and it works every time. Of course, Adobe stuff is proprietary, and acrord supports some types of evil DRM... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
