Folks,

ImageMagick has become an essential part of my IDL arsenal
lately. So I thought I would describe what I learned about
installing it in a Windows 7 64-bit system. (New HP Z600
workstation with a LOT more memory than I used to have!)

ImageMagick uses Ghostview to convert PostScript files
to other various formats, so I installed the 64-bit
versions of both ImageMagick and Ghostview. But, it turned
out that the 64-bit version of ImageMagick uses the
32-bit version of Ghostview. To make both the 64-bit
version of GSView and ImageMagick work the way I wanted
them to, I had to install *both* the 32-bit and 64-bit
versions of GhostScript.

So, here are the versions I have installed that all seem
to work well together:

gs864w32.exe
gs864w64.exe
gsv49w64.exe
ImageMagick-6.5.8-4-Q16-windows-x64-static.exe

Cheers,

David
