There was also a query a few weeks ago about PostScript
previewers.
There is a program called pageview that Sun includes
with its OPEN LOOK distribution which displays PostScript
on screen. Anyone with DWB 3.1 troff can do:
	troff ... | dpost | pageview
to get on-screen documents. There is also a "ditview" program
on the X11R4 tape that goes straight from troff:
	troff -TX75 ... | ditview
The advantage of the former is that it permits pictures
and displays all fonts; the latter does not.
