I've just spent a rather considerable amount of time and effort downloading
and unpacking Ghostscript 2.0 onto my PC.  Then, I find out I need Turbo C
to compile the thing!  After a little experimentation, I decided there was
no way in hell the thing would go through my Microsoft compiler (MS make
barfed on the Turbo make file, just to begin with).

Is there anyplace I can get a ready-to-go, compiled version of Ghostscript?
I just find this rather annoying that it takes five hours of downloading
(2400 baud) to discover that somebody decided to use some *other* compiler...
And I though I'd be safe with a nice, standard compiler like MS....

Anyhow, no flames intended at the developers.  If anyone knows how or where
I could get my hands on an executable version, I would appricate it.  Please
E-mail me, as I rarely have the time to keep up with the traffic in all of 
these groups.  Thanx for any help.

-Chris
