2.9MB executable
1 MB library files (initialization files in /lib)

No display device, but a lot of printers and image formats.



A much smaller version.  Smaller than xpdf's pdftoppm and does more.

http:/keesan.freeshell.org/bl/gs-8.54-small.gz
1.15MB, expands to 2.65M, executable with initialization files compiled in


Devices:
nullpage, bmp256, pbmraw - needed to display with svp (based on svgalib)

pbm pgm pnm ppm - convert ps/pdf to images usable by netpbm

pswrite/pdfwrite - convert between ps and pdf

Printer devices for deskjet (mono and color), laserjet, ljet2p, ljet5 
(works for 6), but not epson or canon or anything not PCL5.  300 or 600 
dpi.

Add gs fonts from Slackware, 3MB.  I will try to reduce this to a few 100K 
(one font only, in bold, italic, and both) as I did for pdftoppm, which 
uses gs fonts.


I have tested both of these only for displaying with svp.  Please report 
problems.

Both glibc 2.2.5.  Need libc libm ld-linux.

Version 8.50 includes a lot more devices and x11, but has no special 
dependences, just what is needed for rxvt.
