Sorry about the previous message ^C-c slipped 8~>

I have explored ghostscript versions 1.0 1.1 1.2 and now 1.3, and as
yet, I have not been able to do what I wanted. I use eroff from elan
on the PC and generate some rather complex troff graphs, figures, etc.
The postscript prints fine on a laserwriter once I have found all my
coding errors. What I would like to do is use a PostScript interpreter
to debug most of the problems and to preview my output. I have always
just gotten the latest version of the executable and the accompanying
g*.ps files and tried

	$ gs mypostscript.out

And for 1.0-1.2 I get just a little of the title page and then "hard
reboot" for 1.3 I don't see anything for any input file. Perhaps the
executable for 1.3 on prep.ai.mit.edu is corrupted, but it hangs my
hardware (AT with Paradise EGA card).  

If ghostscript is not yet developed enough at this point to use this
way, could someone recommend and alternative? (BTW, what is
GoScript?).

Thank you, I don't want to seem ungrateful to the development of
ghostscript, but at this time I need a tool that works.
