The latest version of DECwindows (UWS2.2, announced earlier this month)
includes a PostScript previewer.  It's based on the Display PostScript
X server extension developed in conjunction with Adobe.  It plays all
PostScript documents I've thrown at it.  Non-DEC users may want to look
for one of these:

    Goswell's PostScript previewer - one of the older ones and
        reportedly much improved recently    
    GhostScript - from the GNU people   
    ScriptWorks - from Harlequin Limited, Cambridge, England

I haven't tried any of these, so don't know if they work.
