It would be good to be able to download the latest version from SuSE's ftp server, but I'm not sure whether that is legal. Alternatively, SuSE could provide a spec file and patches - I looked at it with 5.10 and the patches SuSE provided with that were enormous. Unfortunately, SuSE has shown no interest in this whatsoever. Fortunately though, you can download ghostscript 6.50 rpms from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/ these days. Volker
