[bug-gswin] Bub-report: Postscript -> JPEG

[Ray Johnston]

Raj,

The file 'quit.ps' is not a file that performs a 'showpage' (all it
contains is the single PostScript operator 'quit'), so no JPEG file
should be produced.

Please try examples/tiger.eps or other files in the 'examples' folder.

Note that the files in the 'lib' directory are not intended to be
produce output -- they are utilities and part of Ghostscript itself.

If you have a PostScript program that works to a PostScript printer
or can be imported to a program such as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe
Illustrator.

I also suggest that you read all of the documentation in the 'doc'
directory that is intended for users of Ghostscript.
