How to setup precompiled GNU ghostscript 7.05/iX.1

Instructions below assume a GNU.ORG logon, because this is my porting setup.

 :hello manager.sys

 :newacct org,mgr
 :purgeuser mgr.org
 :purgegroup pub.org
 :altacct org; cap=+ph

 :newgroup gnu.org; access=(r,x:any; w,a,l,s:gl)
 :newuser gnu.org; pass=whatever; home=gnu
 :altuser gnu.org; cap=+ph,gl

 :hello gnu.org

 :xeq /bin/tar "xvzopf /tmp/ghostscript-705-bin.tar.Z"

 :xeq /bin/sh -L

 shell/iX> cd ~/opt/ghostscript/v7.05/share/ghostscript
 shell/iX> # these fonts are required ...
 shell/iX> gzip -dc /tmp/gnu-gs-fonts-std-#.##.tar.gz | tar xvopf -
 shell/iX> # these fonts are optional ...
 shell/iX> gzip -dc /tmp/gnu-gs-fonts-other-#.##.tar.gz | tar xvopf -

 shell/iX> exit

You are now ready to use the software in /ORG/GNU/opt/ghostscript/v7.05/...
Please visit the related file ghostscript-705-usage.txt for usage instructions.

Have fun using GNU ghostscript 7.05/iX, but keep in mind: *use at your own risk*
