    14 '''Note:''' The above Warpin Archive was designed to be installed to eComStation systems. It should also install to OS/2 V4.50/1/2 systems. This would result in the OS/2 system acquiring an ecs directory tree on the boot drive in the event of Docs and/or Support dll files being installed - Just something OS/2 V4.5x users need to be aware of.

    40 Ghostscript also needs to be installed.  The current CUPS build expects to find gsos2.exe in \gs\gs8.64\bin\gsos2.exe - ie on the same drive as CUPS.  If this isn't the location of Ghostscript, you can edit \cups\lib\cups\filter\pstoraster and edit the PREFIX which points to the Ghostscript location.  gs864os2.zip contains only the directory gs8.64 for compatability with GSView so take care when extracting.
     42Ghostscript also needs to be installed.  The current CUPS build expects to find gsos2.exe in \gs\gs8.70\bin\gsos2.exe - ie on the same drive as CUPS.  If this isn't the location of Ghostscript, you can edit \cups\lib\cups\filter\pstoraster and edit the PREFIX which points to the Ghostscript location.
