	Correct.

	Incorrect.

	Ghostview is a SEPARATE product from Ghostscript, though the 
maintainer of gv is a member of the gs development team - but the two 
aren't packaged together.

	PLEASE make sure that you are using Ghostscript 7.x or later 
(current version is 8.0) as versions prior to 7 "sucked rocks through 
a garden hose" when it came to PDF generation.
