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,
