Re: [GLE-general] Problems with QGLE on windows 10

[Zbigniew K. <ki...@if...>]

Correction: I checked my notes and the latest ghostscript that worked 
for me in connection with QGLE was 9.22 (not 8.22 as stated before).

This appeared to be the last gs I could find with the legacy installer 
display.  New installer look seems to be correlated with QGLE 
incompatibility :-(
