That device is ways faster than the traditional x11 device, especially
with anti-aliasing turned on. Unfortunately, it requires shared libraries
and does not interface with gv.
Note: I hope all devices are back in. Those of you looking for hp850 &
friends support, the driver has been integrated into the `uniprint' driver.
`aladdin' stopped developping ghostscript. What exists is now called
`afpl'.
The 7.00 version offers a whole new set of possibilities. I haven't
even tried for compiling the gtk glue yet, but the most visible one
is the new, much improved aa support in x11 (compare the sample files
with old x11alpha and new x11 with aa options, as per gv).
Rename the directory along, leave aladdin ghostscript alone for now:
in two weeks time, GNU ghostscript 6.51 ships, and this will be just
aladdin ghostscript 6.50 with s/Aladding/GNU/. We want this for the CD.
port.
- why bother creating a man page if we don't install it ?
- our echo does handle \n, so it needs to be protected.
- for that matter, yield a sensible list of directories for OpenBSD.
- INSTALL script that predates dependencies...
And:
- prepare for gs 7.00, detect the version of ghostscript installed,
and tweak resource files to use x11 device with aa options instead
of the older x11alpha. Mark resource files as no checksum accordingly.
Let ghostscript-encrypt grab its directory directly from aladdin or gnu
ghostscript.
Includes a perfectly sick hack to obtain PDFDIR from those directories:
we do need PORTSDIR at Makefile parsing time, and for that, we just hack
its value from the current Makefile, avoiding endless recursion with
a flag.
Note that this hack is clean though, and doesn't need extra knowledge from
the rest of the ports tree.
- mktemp code was fixed
- hp850 drivers integrated
- rename patches.
I know that 7.0 is out, but 6.51 is going to be out in two weeks,
and be gnu ghostscript, hence this update.
Note that I haven't roamed through new drivers yet, I'm probably missing
some.

HTMLDOC was developed in response to a need to generate high quality
documentation in printed and electronic forms. It converts source
HTML documentation into PDF and Postscript form, and has a GUI and
CLI front-end to accomplish this.
- patch to cure /tmp race condition added; it needs cleaning up before
submitting back to authors though (espie@ ok)

Dvipdfm is a command-line DVI to PDF translator.
Its features include TeX \special's that approximate the functionality
of the PostScript pdfmarks used by Adobe Acrobat Distiller, the
ability to include PDF files and JPEG files as embedded images,
support for both Type1 and PK fonts, support for arbitrary linear
graphics transformations, a color stack accessible via \special's,
partial font embedding and stream compression for reduced output
file size, native, portable graphics via TPIC \specials, balanced
page and destination trees for improved reader access on very large
document files.
