[GRASS-user] need help with mac os x installation

[William Kyngesburye]

I got to thinking about the GS license (it's GPL now) and I'll either  
have to make it a separate download or find an existing Mac binary,  
or maybe use an older AFPL GS.  Maybe there's an equivalent in the  
system somewhere - it already uses CUPS for printing, maybe there's a  
CLI postscript renderer...

Is your GUI printing use of GS the only thing in GRASS that uses it?   
Does it generate an image, or print-ready postscript?
