So you are in trouble. You may try to compile GS from sources for a 16-bit real mode target (e.g., with Turbo C or OpenWatcom), but I don't know if it's even possible. It will probably need at least some playing with the makefiles. Anyway, GS is a very memory- and CPU-intensive application. I had sometimes troubles running it on a 486 with 8 Mbytes RAM (when virtual memory was unavailable). Real mode version of current GS would be painfully slow and seriously limited, I think. And with these old (3.33) version, you will probably be unable to process PDFs anyway (at least newer PDFs, i.e., most of them). I hate to say this. I really hate to say this. But -- you seem to have to upgrade your hardware to at least 386. Sorry, Michal (who hates to upgrade just for upgrading and still works mostly with 486-based machines)
