Do these programs use the DOS4GW extender?  If so, then you should know 
that this extender is currently incompatible with the CWSDPMI DPMI host 
that Emacs uses.  If you can run Emacs with some other DPMI host, then it 
will most probably work.  If not, just don't invoke these programs while 
Emacs runs.

If Emacs wedges your machine even if you don't run Ghostscript and CLisp, 
then please tell more about your problem.
