Re: LP 2.6 on Win98 -- question on Ghostview & on PS file size

Jan, I really would help if I could, but being a mere computer user, I know
next to nothing about the technicalities of computers. It's mainly the
jargon that confuses me, although most others on this list seem to be pretty
at ease with it all. I suppose being able to use a complicated software such
as Lilypond mainly only appeals to those with computerish minds. Sorry I
can't contribute more effectively to resolving the problem.

Regards

Sacha
