Please read the documentation in doc/Use.htm. Ghostscript can be run from a USB drive or even a CD-ROM (non writable) drive. The key point is to make sure that Ghostscript can find the 'lib' files, the 'Resource/' directory and the fonts. The lib directory can be specified when invoking Ghostscript by using the -I command line option. The -I also specifies the path to search for fonts so they needn't be in the 'lib' directory. The Resource/ directory is specified with the -sGenericResourceDir= option. If Ghostscript is on the U: drive at the top level with a lib/ directory, a fonts/ directory and a Resource/ directory, you can use: U:\bin\gswin32 -IU:/lib -IU:/fonts -sGenericResourceDir=U:/Resource/ Note that the trailing '/' on the GenericResourceDir string is required. Also note that you can run bin/gswin32.exe or bin/gswin32c.exe this way depending on how you want the text window to work. Created attachment 2033 [details]
