I got this app to work on Solaris 10 using

        /usr/sfw/bin/gs
        /usr/sfw/bin/a2ps

However, the display quality is rather poor compared to xpdf or Adobe 
(actually unacceptable). Any idea what this might be caused by? Can 
this easily be improved? What should I have a look for? I guess xpdf 
and Adobe have their own rendering engine while GPSText is usig gs. But 
I doubt that tjis is a genral problem of gs, rather some configuration 
issue!?

Thanks,

  Andreas
