I used to work in a NeWS environment and though I like many features of X,
I miss psview.  I used this to preview both raw PostScript and psroff
(since we use LaserWriters).  xditview is ok, but does not really show
me what my printed output will look like, especially page breaks.

Is xtroff a PostScript previewer?  Do people us ghostscript from GNU?
Any pointers will be appreciated.
