           We tried distilling .PS files in my manager's office with the
           same result as above.  He's got Windows 95 and Acrobat 3.0.
           Any ideas?

I used to get this error when I used Windows File Manager to move PS files 
from my VMS system to my PC and then run Distiller on them on the PC.

I overcame the error by using a DOS window to move the files with 
qualifiers, such as:

    J:\>  copy file2dis.ps  /a   c:\*.*  /b

I forget what the /a and the /b switches do, but it worked.
