I have a SUN workstation and can use the Postscript Previewer on one 
of our DEC servers (dxpsview) only under Ultrix-32 V3.1, which is
compatible with my MIT X-Window generic server.

Thanks to DEC and ADOBE, this no longer exists under the current Ultrix
OS. Seems like they made the ADOBE stuff part of the DEC X Server and 
unless I have a DEC workstation (as I understand from the DEC folks),
I'm out of luck. If this is true, so much for a standard (THANKS DEC)...
By the way SUN has a similar problem with their X/NeWS stuff... 
When will they learn (Hope I'm wrong...If so I'm sorry for the
pokes, if not double the intensity intended)...
