+<p>If you have GSView installed, and want to make it use the new version of
+GhostScript (recommended), run GSView and go into "Options" --> "Advanced
+Configure".  Make sure the "GhostScript include path" is updated to point to
+the new GhostScript directory.  (See the file <tt>readme.os2</tt> included
+with GhostScript for what this path should look like in general.)

+<p>Once you have everything changed over to use the new GhostScript, and you've
+verified that it all works properly, you can delete the old GhostScript 
+subdirectory.
