Partially off topic: Ghostscript puzzles

["Patricia M. Godfrey" PriscaMG@xxxxxxxx]

Does anyone know why when I download and install the latest AFPL
Ghostscript, both the Win 3.1 and the Win32 versions are put in
c:\gs\gs8.53\bin, and the shortcut created for the start menu references
the 3.1 version (gswin32.exe) rather than the 9x version (gswin32c.exe)?
This doesn't affect TYP or XY2PDF, since gswin32c. is called from the U2
routines, but it's playing havoc with my attempts to learn about
Ghostscript itself.
The GS docs mention a file (in the \lib subdir) called prfont.ps, which
is supposed to print out a fontproof of all loaded fonts. Attempts to
run it, either from the GS command line or through GSView generate "No
such file or directory" errors. Anyone have any idea why? Am I correct
in assuming that GS, being of *nix origin, wants paths specified *nix
style, with forward, rather than backward, slashes?
