Hi,

I am relatively new with ghostscript. Thus, it's quite likely that the
following bug has been reported many times. Please don't mind. My problem
is as follows.

I've installed ghostscript2.5 (msdos) on my 386 PC under DR-DOS 5.0, 4MB RAM.
When I use the 8088 version gs.exe then everything seems to be fine.
Alas, when I start gs386.exe then I get a message like

   Initializing ... Unexpected interupt ...
   <lots of register contents>

and the program aborts. The funny thing is that the register contents
change everytime I start gs386. The abortion of the program is also
independent of the parameters I supply. The only exception is
   gs386 -h
which works just fine.

Has anybody experienced this problem before? Is it a problem of DR-DOS ?-(
Or do I have to play with several expanded/extended/LIM/high/hidden/shaddow
configurations of my main memory?
