Yes it is true, I found out. The problem is that the solution is not obvious 
for a newbie - when you run gsview it doesn't say "I cannot find ghostscript, 
please locate it for me!" - it says "Ghostscript does not exist - please 
download it from the internet. Download now / cancel". You have to cancel that, 
ignore a load of warnings and then enter "advanced settings". I am not used to 
have to go to "advanced settings" to perform a task as simple as pointing out a 
dir.
Well, but now it works, tnx, and it surprises me that performing this 
automatically is such a hard task now that everything else works so perfect.
