We appreciate Russell Lang's willingness to incorporate pstotext in
GSview, and his help in redesigning the API to the DLL module and in
debugging the final version.  We thank Hunter Goatley for the VMS
port.

Version 1.9 is a modification of 1.8h to recognise excessive space in 
"ashow" as being a word separator, as found output from groff 1.08. 
Also fixed widthshow, awidthshow and added xshow, yshow and xyshow.  
Uses ANSI prototypes.  These are now required, not optional.
Fixes a number of compiler warnings.
Note that neither of the original authors still work at DEC/Compaq/HP.
