I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there is a commercialy
available or better yet, a public domain program out there that can
take postscript files and convert them to a bitmap for screen viewing.

We use Sun386i's equipped with Framemaker2.0 and Eroff.  Alot of our
documents have been created with Eroff, which is basically a repackaged
Troff equipped with a screen previewing system.  We have been doing our
diagrams with Framemaker's drawing tools.  Eroff allows importing of
postscript files, allowing us to import our Framemaker drawings easily
inot our Eroff documents. But, Eroff will not display these drawings on
the screen. 

If anyone out there knows of a program which takes postscript files
and allows them to be viewed onscreen, I would like to hear from you.
Please email your responses.  Thanks in advance.
