[gs-devel] Ghostscript with Vista

[Russell Lang]

Ken,

No, I haven't done much work on RedMon recently.  I'm part way to the next 
release, but other things have taken priority in recent times.  I probably do 
have the necessary information from a user to make it work now.  I just 
need to find the time to integrate the code and test it.
