GSview is a graphical interface for Ghostscript under MS-Windows or OS/2. Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript page description language used by laser printers.

One may also delete un-necessary language and help files to save space.
Tnx. for submitting gsview but it was first suggested by payneCheng back in 2007.

Re: GSView
Have you tested the 64-bit version for portability?

Re: GSView
I don't have a 64 bit processor, so I'll leave that to others.
I don't see why it wouldn't be though.

Re: GSView
GSview x64 and Ghostscript x64 do not work for me! At all!
x32 versions work and they are portable.
P.S. I'm not stupid! Just mad ATM!

Re: GSView
Few suggestions about the entry:
- More technical users may know what PostScript language for laser printers is, but I don't think the average user does so a little more explanation would help out.
- A shorter, clearer description would also be good. For example don't need to know that is for MS WIndows and OS/2 since this is a Windows-only site. The license is already mentioned elsewhere on the description. Many of the graphics options, languages, and so forth can probably be summarized.
- For the additional required program, I'd avoid mentioning it up top and just explain in the "how to extract" area to avoid confusion.
Re: GSView
I think of this as one of those apps that if you don't understand what it does, then you don't need it. I think the technical explanation weeds out those users that just want a PDF viewer.webfork wrote:Few suggestions about the entry:

Re: GSView
Now at Version V5.0 (2012-01-17)
? It now says:
...GSview release v5.0 2012-01-17, for GPL Ghostscript 9.01 or later.
...GSview release v4.9 2007-11-18, for GPL Ghostscript 8.64 or later.
I could not find a Change Description file
I used V5.0:
Extraction changes:
GSView as extracted was expecting gs.dll in ./gs7.04 and worked ok after gs904 was extracted into there.
and some of the 'Delete' files are no longer found
There are 2 Forum threads? GSView and GSview
