Hi,

I've recently downloaded ghostview-1.5-cygwinb19.tar.bz2 and 
gs-5.10-cygwinb19.tar.bz2 from Sergey Okhapkin's site.
Unfortunately both are giving me problems... 

Ghostview starts up with its standard window, presumably reads 
in the target file (it gets all the page numbering correct...), 
but can't actually display the file, instead popping up a window 
with the following message:

Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window.

I've had no more success with Ghostscript.  It simply pops up 
a window and then promptly dies with the following message:

bash-2.01$ gs
Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 (1997-11-23)

  Value in failed request:  0xec
  Serial number of failed request:  322
  Current serial number in output stream:  322
bash-2.01$ 

Does anyone have any clue what might be wrong???

==========================================

the vital stats...

nt4/sp3; b19/i386-cygwin32; coolview; 
b19_X11R6_3 from Arlindo da Silva's site 
(also tried with X11R6.4-cygwinb19.tar.bz2 
from Sergey's site);

cheers, Paul
