When I nabbed a copy a couple of months ago from the home site, the latest
version was Aladdin Ghostscript 3.33. The latest Windows previewer was
GSView 1.3. It still runs a bit slow, and a 3/486 with win32s and at
least 8Mb of RAM is _STRONGLY_ recommended, but I didn't need to do any
real fiddling to get it to work (some functions act strangely tho).

Ask archie for gs333w32.zip (Ghostscript) and gsview13.zip (GSView).
Remember to grab the other Ghostscript files (gs333ini.zip and the font
files you want). If you still have problems finding it, mail me directly.
