 Development history from ST-GS 3.54 up to GEMGS 1.0
 ----------------------------------------------------

 - Screen redraw at start-up removed.
 - File selection *.PS -> *.*ps (Freedom can do this, but others??).
 - stgs.rc -> gemgs.cfg.
 - Load Config: The EnvVariables entered in the file will be used as well!
   WARNING: These variables must be set correctly in an editor, as, if
            GEMGS does not find gs_init.ps, it has no opportunity to open
            a dialog!
 - Position of the page selection dialog will be saved.
 - Evaluates AP_TERM as well and reports this to the AES.
 - Output only possible to a window now (previously also direct to the
   screen).
 - Temp files are really saved to $TMPDIR.
 - Resource farmed out as a separate file.
 - Menu shortcuts now work. The Help function is called by pressing the
   left [Shift] key.
 - CEN: removed. Printing now only via PRN:
 - Ghost understands VA_START. - There is only one menu entry left:
   'Open file'. An Open Page is attempted first; if this misfires (e.g.
   with eps) the file is opened normally. The problem with this is that it
   only works if the document is opened via the menu or VA_START.
      If one specifies a file as an argument at the start, one cannot
         perform an Open Page as the interpreter reads the file immediately,
         before the Atari driver can do anything about it!
         Remedy: Possibly a small program that is installed on the
         desktop to start Ghost and then passes the argument via
         VA_START. This would also allow new options (e.g. --no-gem).
      If a file is not opened as Open Page (e.g. PDF) the interpreter has
      to work its way through the complete file first - in other words
      display all pages before the next document can be read!
 - True iconify.
 - Solution for the problem with its own parameters:
      The Atari driver first of all is passed all the parameters, filters
      out its own and passes the rest on to the interpreter.
      Hence there is a new option now "--no-gem" for switching off the
      GEM interface (e.g. because one wishes to print).
      GS_WIN will NO LONGER be paid attention to!
 - Various things adopted from the CFLib: Nicelines in the menu, UserDefs.
 - All dialogs revised: UserDefs, only OK and Cancel remain.
 - All possible printer drivers and file formats made available in dialog.
 - If gemgs is started with just one file as argument, the Atari Arg-filter
   extracts this and then sends a VA_START message to itself. This makes it
   possible now for Open Page to work also for files passed at start-up!

 - New gs kernel 5.01 -> 5.03
 - Stack size reduced to 50K. That's quite enough!
 - Some corrections to the USERDEFs.
 - With multi-page documents the page number appears in the title bar.
 - Page-wise browsing through document with Return/Enter/+ or Backspace/-.
 - Now fully converted to CFLib.
 - Dialogs revised: All options (Device/Format/DPI) selectable via popups.
 - If argv[0] = 'gs' (e.g. /usr/bin/gs is a link to gemgs.gtp) or Option
   '-h' is specified (e.g. to display the list of printers), gemgs will be
   started without GEM.
 - Menu entry 'Reopen'.
 - The font ID and size for the Console and Help windows can be set in the
   Config.
 - If <name>.pdf is opened, GEMGS attempts to establish the number of pages
   and creates the file <name>.ps in the same directory, which is then
   processed. This new PS file does NOT contain the PDF document, but only
   the information about all the pages!
 - Position of the dialogs is no longer saved -> always centred.
 - German resource file (in the German version - English translation by
   Derryck Croker in the UK release).
 - HELP removed.
 - Page select dialog removed, replaced by a popup following a right-click
   in the Console or Document windows.
 - A backup is no longer created for the CFG file.
 - The right mouse button (in Console or Document windows) brings up a
   popup making functions for loading and browsing through the pages
   available.

 - New gs kernel 5.03 -> 5.10.
   Includes appreciably more printer drivers. The following output devices
   are now present:
      Screen:        stvdi
      Printers:      bj10e, bj200, bjc600, bjc800, cdj500, cdj550, deskjet,
                     djet500, epson, laserjet, ljet2p, ljet3, ljet4,
                     ljetplus, lq850, necp6, slm, st800, stcolor.
      File formats:  epswrite, gemimg, jpeg, jpeggray, pdfwrite, png16,
                     png16m,  png256, pnggray, pngmono, pswrite, tiff12nc,
                     tiff24nc, tifflzw, tiffpack.

 - Converted to CF-Lib 7.
 - Output dialog redesigned.
 - Keyboard evaluation of the graphic window reinstated.
 - New Copyright dialog with separate version indication for GEMGS and
   interpreter.
 - Reload corrected: If page 5 was active, it will also be after a reload.
 - An ST version is now also available (e.g. for MagiCMac).

Version 1.0    Published 06.08.1998
--------------------------
 - Due to an error in the GEM-Lib, 1.0 did not run in colour :-(

Version 1.1     12.08.1998
--------------------------
 - RSC versions check
 - Added free choice of Y-resolution, with which one may now use
   unequal X and Y resolutions (e.g. 360x180)
 - GS_DISPLAY incorporated in CFG (see docs!)
 - English RSC by Derryck Croker
 - English text by Peter West
 - French RSC/Lisezmoi by Didier Briel

Version 1.2     03.01.1999
--------------------------
 - New gs kernel 5.50, new Libs
 - SLM-driver now uses only ST-RAM. Will that help?
 - Fileselector comes up with *.* instead of *.*ps
 - If -dNODSIPLAY is set, gemgs behaves as if '--no-gem' is also set,
   i.e. it runs without GEM and makes no (graphics) output (e.g. for
   PDF-extract)
 - Small tool (pdf2ps), that extracts page infos from a PDF file

-- Christian Felsch stops any further development --

-- Christian Felsch can't leave :-) --

Version 1.3		25.03.2000
--------------------------
 - Newer gs kernal 6.01, Current Atari-Libs
 - new laser printer driver: cljet5, cljet5c, fs600, lj5mono, lj5gray,
   pxlmono, pxlcolor
