Spent some time trying to bring 1.2 up on an AT with Turbo C V1.5,

1.	there was an outright bug in the file containing the arithmetic
	primivites.  The one for `div` would always fail if the second
	argument (top of stack) was an integer because the test for zero
	divisor had an (obvious) bug.  This bug caused ghost.ps to fail
	on startup.

2.	the compilation produced many complaints (warnings; there were no
	errors) about pointers to structures of undefined type.  These were
	triggered by references of the form
		struct HotStuff *HS;
	where HotStuff was not declared.  I presume that this happened on
	Unix systems as well.  I suggest you consider clearing this up.  The
	deluge of messages makes it hard to spot any real problems.

3.	gt.exe appeared to work ok.  it left the ega's colors scrambled.

4.	i ran gs.exe on a short script (copied from the tutorial) that makes
	three rows of circles across the page.  it made the first row and
	appeared to hang.

You might consider:

-	leaving an .exe version available somewhere (with its support files).

-	including a test.ps which holds the scripts you used in testing.

Sorry this is all complaints.  I'm really impressed by the power of this beast
and anxious to see it hum.

Thanks, from the world.
