 Fixes problems:
-	- The batch files for MS-DOS, MS Windows, and OS/2 referred to the
-executable by the name 'gs'. They now use environment variables GS
-(graphical) and GSC (console) for the executable names, defaulting to
-gswin32 and gswin32c respectively. (doc/News.htm [1.45], doc/Use.htm [1.6]:
-2000/05/20 20:53:04 lpd)
-	- The -dCompatibilityLevel= switch was incorrectly identified in one
-place as -dCompatibility=. (doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.11]: 2000/05/22 21:29:45 lpd)
-	- [gs_]currentgray didn't return the correct value if the current
-color space was a DeviceN space using the alternate space.
-(doc/News.htm [1.49]: 2000/07/03 15:28:26 lpd)
-	- Fixes a couple of typos. (doc/Release.htm [1.12]: 2000/07/04
-19:19:38 lpd)
-	- The "smoke test" procedure for fileset releases didn't stress the
-banding code nearly as hard as intended. (doc/Release.htm [1.13]: 2000/07/05
-04:50:13 lpd)
-
-Adds predefined pdfwrite settings similar to the three standard settings in
-Adobe Acrobat Distiller 4, plus a "default" setting, with
--dPDFSETTINGS=/settingname. (doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.10]: 2000/04/29 02:29:20 lpd)
-
-Increments the version number to 6.23. From now on, we use odd numbers
-during development, even numbers for released filesets.
-(doc/Changes.htm [1.12], doc/History6.htm [1.7], doc/News.htm [1.40],
-doc/Release.htm [1.11]: 2000/04/29 16:49:43 lpd)
-
-Implements ImageType 3 images in the PDF writer. (doc/News.htm [1.41]:
-2000/04/30 06:21:58 lpd)
-
-Creates a procs structure for shadings, moving the fill_rectangle procedure
-into it, in anticipation of adding a get_params procedure.
-(doc/News.htm [1.42]: 2000/04/30 19:37:37 lpd)
-
-Implements PatternType 2 patterns and shfill in the PDF writer.

-parameter for printer drivers. (doc/Projects.htm [1.9]: 2000/05/06 00:32:08
+	- Local GC in a multi-context system caused a crash. Also updates
+all the internal type names in zcontext.c by adding a _t suffix if
+necessary. (doc/News.htm [1.54]: 2000/07/10 23:56:55 lpd)
+
+Increments the version number, in preparation for the next fileset.
+(doc/News.htm [1.52]: 2000/07/06 02:45:06 lpd)
+
+Adds a finish_copydevice device procedure, for cleaning up after copying the
+bits of a device prototype or instance. For safety, the default
+implementation only allows copying the prototype, not instances. This is a
+NON-BACKWARD-COMPATIBLE change; however, using copydevice on a device
+instance never worked reliably, so it should not have been used this way
+before. (doc/Drivers.htm [1.4], doc/News.htm [1.53]: 2000/07/06 04:13:24
 lpd)
 
-Documents the addition of TMPDIR for specifying the directory for temporary

-Color 640. (doc/Devices.htm [1.8]: 2000/05/23 18:58:56 lpd)
+Updates a couple of release procedures. (doc/Release.htm [1.15]: 2000/07/10
+19:32:59 lpd)
 
-Adds implementation of the %font% IODevice to the list of projects.
-(doc/Projects.htm [1.10]: 2000/05/24 23:30:15 lpd)
-

-(doc/News.htm [1.47]: 2000/06/05 01:26:05 lpd)

-new MaxStripSize parameter for the monochrome TIFF drivers.
-(doc/Devices.htm [1.9]: 2000/06/05 05:41:55 lpd)

-2000/06/21 17:10:41 lpd)
-
-Updates documentation on the ProcessColorModel and ColorConversionStrategy
-parameters. (doc/Ps2pdf.htm [1.13]: 2000/06/21 18:06:07 lpd)
-
-Adds user parameters ProcessComment and ProcessDSCComment. If not null,
-these procedures are called with the file and the comment line whenever the
-scanner detects a comment (or non-DSC comment) or DSC comment. NOTE: the
-interpreter is currently patched so that ProcessComment is never called.
-(doc/Language.htm [1.4], doc/News.htm [1.48]: 2000/06/27 00:53:38 lpd)
-
-Adds a reference to a user-maintained Czech translation of the Ghostscript
-'man' pages. (doc/Readme.htm [1.9]: 2000/06/27 14:03:29 lpd)
-
-Brings the language documentation (more) up to date.
-(doc/Language.htm [1.5]: 2000/06/29 16:00:48 lpd)

-Changes the version numbering system back to sequential (not odd/even).
-Between numbered filesets, GS_PRODUCT will say "CVS PRE-RELEASE".
-(doc/History6.htm [1.8], doc/News.htm [1.50]: 2000/07/05 17:23:54 lpd)
