Ok so I go out to the UCLA AIX software site (
http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/ghostscript.html )
and download the binary for AIX4.3  Ftp it to the 400 gzip -d then tar
-xvf  then chmod +X ( just love those unix commands)
The make a symbolic link to the shell in PASE ln -s /QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh
/bin/sh  so I don't have to change a bunch of shell scripts.

then cranked up the ps2pdf using one of the examples:
ps2pdf /usr/local/share/ghostscript/6.51/examples/golfer.ps
/home/golfer.pdf  and whammo I get a PDF.

Now gotta try the other part of taking a AFP and using the API to make it
a PS.

Kinda cool how much "stuff" works in PASE : )

all done on v5r1 in about 30 minutes including download time

============================


I've been experimenting with this by outputing the postscript to my
FreeBSD machine, and then using Ghostscript to transform the PostScript
to PDF.  I wonder if GS would run on the iSeries under PASE?   Has anyone
tried that?
