Hi all,

I met:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Initializing... done.

  Ghostscript: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My PC reported "Exit Code 1" and nothing was seen on the screen. This happened 
when I tried to view  a .ps file downloaded recently, but I have ~8 months
experience with postscript, without any problem. 

I am using GhostScript 2.61 and Gsview 1.3 running Windows 3.1 on my PC. 

Please suggest some therapies!

Sincerely,          TangSimon@cuhk.hk

P.S. With http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Alexander.Hulpke/prelnaming.ps.Z,
I encountered the "Exit Code 1" problem and nothing was seen on the screen. 
Strangely though, everything ran smooth with 
http://www.expmath.com/restricted/4/4.1/hulpke.ps.gz and I could print out all 
pages.
