Setting up Ghostview and Ghostscript

  1. In Netscape click on "gsv27550.exe" and save the file to some temporary directory, say C:\temp (you probably have already done this and I'll assume you are working in C:\temp).

  2. On your PC, in the C:\temp directory, double click on "gsv27550.exe" to open the self extracting file.

  3. Follow the simple setup instructions.

  4. Now you have to set your browser so that it uses Ghostview for displaying and printing postscript files. Different versions of Netscape and MSIE have slightly different ways of doing this. Basically, you have to use preferences (or options) to select the following application (or program) for postscript files (i.e. files with MIME type: application/postscript): C:\gstools\gsview\gsview32.exe
