I just downloaded and installed Ghostscript 2.5 on my Compaq Portable
386. The DOS versions (8088 and 80386) of the executable seem to work
quite well, but as soon as I try to fire up the pre-compiled Windows
version, GSWin, under Windows 3.1, I get a General Protection Fault.
The GPF occurs in the Win87Em.dll dynamic link library (at 0001:0293).
Frankly, I'm puzzled as to why the 80x87 emulator is even loaded since
I have an 80387 (Intel) in the computer.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior? Does anyone know how to
make it go away? I can document the problem better with Dr. Watson,
if that would help, but I don't have the BC++ (or any other Windows C
compiler) with which to make a new executable.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

P.S. Sorry if this message appears twice. I posted several days ago
(with everything apparently going well) and the message just never
appeared on my news spool.
