Index to the files in the aladdin subdirectory
==============================================

There are two sets of files in this directory.  The .tar.gz files have
been archived with tar and compressed with gzip.  These programs are
available on almost all Unix systems; MS-DOS versions of them are also
available.  The .zip files in this directory have been created from
the tar.gz files.

The file names below have {N} or ### in them in some places.  Replace {N}
with the desired version number of Ghostscript (e.g., 3.0, 3.01, 3.1, ...);
replace ### with the version number spelled out as exactly 3 digits (e.g.,
300, 301, 310, ....)

tar.gz files
============
PUBLIC		The Aladdin Ghostscript Free Public License, which specifies
		  the terms under which Aladdin Ghostscript may be
		  distributed.
commprod.doc	Some additional explanation about commercial distribution of
		  Aladdin Ghostscript.
ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz
		The main source code for Aladdin Ghostscript {N}.  You will
		  need this if you are going to compile Ghostscript.
		  This also includes all the documentation, examples,
		  utilities, scripts, etc., except for a few that are
		  convered by the GNU License (see below).
ghostscript-{N}jpeg.tar.gz
		The Independent JPEG Group library source code.  You will
		  also need this if you are going to compile Ghostscript.
		  Starting with Ghostscript version 3.12, this name is
		  a link to the parent directory, which contains a verbatim
		  copy of the IJG distribution.
		Note that this file, unlike all the other archives, does
		  not include gs{N} in the file names.  You will have to
		  cd to gs### before unpacking this file.
ghostscript-{N}gnu.tar.gz
		GNU-Licensed device drivers and utility programs for
		  Aladdin Ghostscript {N}.
		**************** IMPORTANT NOTE ****************
		Since Aladdin Ghostscript itself is not GNU-Licensed,
		  if you distribute Aladdin Ghostscript further, you
		  must keep this GNU-Licensed code separate from all
		  the rest of the code (if you distribute this
		  GNU-Licensed code at all), and you must not
		  distribute any executables that incorporate both
		  this GNU-Licensed code and any other part of Aladdin
		  Ghostscript.
ghostscript-{N}dll.tar.gz
		The additional source modules for compiling and linking
		  Aladdin Ghostscript {N} as a MS Windows DLL.
ghostscript-fonts-std-{N}.tar.gz
		Fonts equivalent to the standard 35 PostScript fonts.
		  You will need this if you are going to run Ghostscript,
		  unless you have a full set of (Type 1) PostScript fonts
		  from some other source (e.g., some X Windows
		  installations).
ghostscript-fonts-other-{N}.tar.gz
		Other fonts -- Hershey fonts, free Cyrillic and Japanese
		  Kana fonts, Bitstream Charter, Utopia, and a couple of
		  URW fonts.  You probably don't need this.
ghostscript-{N}msdos.tar.gz
  -or-
ghostscript-{N}pc.tar.gz
		All the files you need to run Ghostscript on MS-DOS or
		  MS Windows, including executables, run-time support
		  files, and documentation.  (Does NOT include fonts.)
ghostscript-{N}-{N'}.diff.gz
		A context diff between versions N and N'.  This covers
		  only the files in ghostscript-{N}.tar.gz, not the ones
		  in dll or gnu.
