To reinforce Martin's point:
I once thought I was using a particular version of a program, because I
knew it was there in my Tools folder and could check its version number
in its !Help file and in the info box when I specifically ran it.
However, owing to an old entry in some boot file or other, another
'tucked away' older version was being used by the system when its
attendant filetype was run because the filer had 'seen' it first. Are you
100% certain the most recent version of Sparkplug was running when you
decompressed GhostScr? It would seem not. This discussion prompted me to
upgrade my GhostScript and 2.28 worked flawlessly, as does the new
GhostScr.
If I were you I would search my hard drive(s) for !Sparkplug and delete
any < 2.28
2.28 seems to be the latest.
