    14 '''Note:''' The above Warpin Archive was designed to be installed to eComStation systems. It should also install to OS/2 Warp4 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 users need to be aware of.

    4645Ghostscript 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.
