In the file make.doc of Ghostscript package there is the following...

The cc.bat and ccna.bat files use the -1 compiler switch, i.e., compile
for 80186/80286.  This is the correct setting for ATs and compatibles, as
well as 80386 systems and for PCs that have been upgraded with a V20
processor. If you are compiling for a >>standard PC with the 8088 (or 8086)<<
processor, remove this switch.  Ghostscript should work properly on a
standard PC, except for the -T switch which assumes the use of the ENTER
instruction in the standard procedure prologue.

> Has anyone a gs.exe compiled (for a standard PC) with this switch    
> "removed".  I don't have turbo C or a 2/386 and gs.exe's 
> compiled with this switch --as all downloadable ones from ftp cites are--
> bombs on my XT compatible.  If you have one could you possibly mail it to 
> me --preferably in the .arc format or if neccesary, tar'ed and compressed.
					
> thanx.
