I uploaded ghostscript 2.1 from prep.ai.mit.edu, attempted to use the
precompiled dos executable, and have had problems with it.

The system I'm using is a 386 with color vga running Windows 3.  I
must have missed something that is supposed to be set up.  The
directory gs.exe is invoked from contains the following files:

 Directory of  C:\DOWNLOAD\GS
.           	..          	GS       EXE	GHOST    PS 	GFONTS   PS 
FONTMAP     	UGLYR    GSF	COPYLEFT DOC	DRIVERS  DOC	EXTEND   DOC

       25 File(s)   42502144 bytes free

The error messages I got were:

C:\DOWNLOAD\GS>gs
Reading ghost.ps... gsmisc.c(35): alloc chunk: malloc failed

Any help with this would be appreciated.  Thanks,
