Recent Windows releases of Ghostscript will not run on Windows 95, 
because they are built with Visual Studio 2005 - and VS2005 doesn't 
support Win95. We changed to VS2005 in order to support the 64 bit 
Windows builds.

Ghostscript itself should run on Win95, if built with a suitable Visual 
Studio release - I believe VS2003 still supports Win95.


So, sorry, but the only option is to find a copy a VS2003 and build 
Ghostscript yourself - or update to an OS for which support wasn't 
dropped by its vendor very nearly ten years ago!
