ghostscript docs

Hi!

I couldn't find a community mailinglist under your www.ghostscript.com
Mailing Lists. So I write to here since I would like to program for a
ghostscript viewer. The documentation of the ghostscript API is not very
fleshy and one has to go directly into the gs-code which is not very
helpful for the beginner. Is there some free and more descriptive API
description available somewhere (not the docs listed on the project
page)?

greetings

ActiveX control useing gsdll32.dll

I have developed this ActiveX control using GS v5.10. And it works just fine except for one thing. On some computers zoom isn’t working. I realized zoom with changing the resolution. I don’t know if this is the right way to do it (because GSview is working OK on those computers). Error occurs in gsdll_execute_cont(). Function itself doesn’t report any error, but an exception window (like with alert) is raised and image isn’t displayed.

 

To avoid this error I tried with GS v5.50 and GS v7.04. The zoom bug is still here, but something weird is happening: ActiveX with GSv5.10 is working OK, even if application uses more than one control simultaneously. But with GSv5.50 or GSv7.04 function gsdll_init() returns GSDLL_INIT_IN_USE which is used in win 3.1 only (just when multiple instances of  this ActiveX control is used). First instance initializes and works ok. All next instances fail.

 

I would be very thankful if someone could help…
