Re: gswin32 with fax support

Thanks for the tip. I was able to get this to work.  I installed Visual C++
2008 Express and ghostscript built just fine and it runs on XP.  Getting the
device I needed (dfaxhigh) in there was simple enough --  I just added it to
psi\msvc.mak as per the instructions.

Thanks again,
Nick

You need to use Visual Studio 2008 or earlier I believe, its the reason why
our Visual Studio solution is still set up as a VS 2005 project.

There may be a way to do it in newer versions of Visual Studio, but if there
is, I have no clue how to go about it.
