I'm new to using Postscript, so bear with me if this sounds stupid...  I've
downloaded some documentation that's in Postscript format.  I don't have
a Postscript printer, and I'd like to view the docs.  I'm running DECwindows
under Ultrix.  I tried to import the docs as a graphics in DECwrite.  When I
did that, DECwrite brought the docs in as if they were a stack of overhead
transparencies on top of each other-- hardly readable.  If anyone has either
a way to bring the Postscript files into DECwrite, or source for a Postscript
viewer, or some other way I can view it without printing it out, I'd really
appreciate it!
