I suspect you mean 4OS2. You can avoid the error message by prefixing the
command in 4start.btm with

if exist H:\temp\alias.lst

This is your problem. You are trying to use a font that ghostscript can
not find. I set the library path setting to

D:\Util\gs\gs8.53\lib;F:\psfonts;d:\util\gs\fonts

to make more fonts available to ghostscript. Another item that is
recommended is to replace

gs\gs8.53\lib\FontMap

with

gs\gs8.53\lib\FontMap.OS2

This makes more fonts available to ghostscript. This is hidden somewhere
in the ghostscript docs.

>Current allocation mode is local
>Last OS error: File name too long

This error is probably noise. I've seen it before when ghostscript
complains about fonts.
