Means you are using Windows, not Linux :-)

It wouldn't be in gs8.63\bin, it would be in gs8.63\Resource

Well, I'm not certain how the installer works for Windows, its not
something Artifex supports directly, its done by Ghostgum in Australia.

If you go and get the Ghostscript sources then you will also get the
support files. Since you don't have these I'm assuming that your version of
GS is compiled to use a ROM file system.

Well that's simple enough, your version of Ghostscript is too old to handle
Identity decodings. I added that code in July this year so it should be
present in the 8.70 release. Note that this relies on both source code
changes and support file changes, so you need a complete new copy of GS.

There's more detail on the change here:
http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2009-July/009513.html

Probably more detail than you want to read ;-)

Yes that works for me, once it works to any device it should generally work
to all devices.

I don't think that's necessary, you just need a more recent version of GS
and the Identity decoding will work, everything should be fine after that.
