    Under DECWindows on Ultrix machines today there is a PostScript 
language previewer which will let you preview documents. DEC has announced
that shipping in January, the next release of DECWindows under Ultrix will 
include the Display PostScript system integrated into the X server. When this
ships can will be able to image PostScript language files on DECWindows 
machines in your programs. Of course you can do more...the Display PostScript 
system allows you to draw using PostScript language commands and fonts to
do your drawing in your interactive applications. 
   I don't know about the schedule for availability on VMS systems.
