I have an issue converting a ProE-created .ps file into dxf. I am sure I have done this successfully before, but now I
cant.
I am using the following on an NT box
* GS 8.14
* GSView 4.6
* PstoEdit 3.33
I reinstalled PstoEdit, but it made no difference. I also tried converting the document using pswrite, and then trying
the dxf conversion, with no difference. Also tried to convert a pdf version, with the same errors. I have tried
rebooting, etc, and I have spent an hour or so looking at Web links, to no avail.
Here is the error box text that pops up from GSView when I do the dxf conversion:

Interpreter finished. Return status -1
The interpreter seems to have failed, cannot proceed !
The ps errors seem to be associated with the following section in the ps file, although I cannot find the /serverdict in
my ps file. I am also not sure why it is mentioning EPS, as the document should be straight ps.

There is output in the dxf file, but not much. The last stuff in the dxf is as follows.
