Try changing the string near the top of the gs_init.ps file that
reads "252" to "251".  I think the GSWIN.EXE binary is still looking
for a version 2.5.1 init file.  This fixed the problem for me.  Note,
howver that this will create the same problem for the DOS binaries
GS386.EXE, etc. because they correctly look for the "252" string.

Good luck,
