Tested and it worked. Still I had to set the gs symbol (i.e. needed by 
GhostView) manually. It would be handy if this was done by setup.com
Thanks for the porting effort.

Mark, are you planning to make also a source-code distribution, or (even 
better) merge your changes into the "official" ghostscript 
distributions? My experience in the past was that the ghostscript 
developers were willing to include the changes for OpenVMS.
