[bug-pcl] Problem building GhostSwitch (GhostPCL Language Switch Environment)

Hi,

(this is a Bug Report, sent as instructed by section "Reporting bugs" in
the GhostPCL documentation)

we recently downloaded and installed GhostPCL as we have the following
problem:

we use a Terminalserver (Citrix Metaframe) to host part of our
applications 
and we have clients (inhouse) that want to use HP DeskJet printers that
are not supported out-of-the box by the server (Windows2000)
Therefore we need - without having the particular printer model - a
possibility to see if the PCL5e code generated by the driver
(and redirected into a file) is what we expect to get.

we succeeded to build pcl6.exe but whould like to see also what is
referenced to as "GhostSwitch" in the documentation

unfortunately the source distribution seems to be incomplete in respect
to language_switch/pspcl6_msvc.mak
refers to a plps.mak and produces the errror

pspcl6_msvc.mak(179) : fatal error U1052: file '..\pl\plps.mak' not
found

Or, this part is not available under the Aladdin Free Public License?
Then at least it would be worth to mention that in the documentation.

Peter
